Good Morning!! " God will never put more on you, than you can handle." We
hear that saying all the time. Sometimes I automatically nod my head
because it just sounds right,...like a plaque on my grand-mothers'
wall. It is
usually presented as a concise summary of God’s care for us. The
problem is, it isn’t true,...we’ve all hit obstacles in our walks that
aren’t possible for us to pass. In fact, I’d even say that God puts
things in our lives that we can’t take care of, on purpose. If
we could handle everything on our own, there would be no need for us to
rely on God, and that’s how we were designed to live!
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.—2 Corinthians 9: 8 (NIV)
So how does that work?...I have no idea! I don't know how it is, that He energizes our thoughts, or the molecules in our bodies, to allow us to accomplish things and choose things, that we otherwise couldn’t, without His strength. But we know that He does. And when we obey Him, and allow Him to work through us, we experience it on a grand scale.
Only by God's grace, we are able to do things,...that we would be unable
to do on our own.
Father in Heaven, it's tough to take on the challenges that we
sometimes have
to face. We don’t want to try it on our own. We're weak, but You are
strong. Be our strength. May others see what You’re doing with and
through us, and be amazed
by it. Let the world know through Your work in us that You are the
source of this and all power! Amen.
" Our Biblical belief is more than something we confess with our mouths,...it's something we confess with our lives."
