Trials include temptations

James 1:13 (ESV)

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

God has sent the trials and the tests, but now the Spirit wants us to understand the principle that although God has sent the trial, and it is a test, and that test is only going to be worked out when there is temptation added to the trial, we are not to resort to blaming God for the temptation.1
