More Than You Can Handle
Through my life I've had some great challenges,some greater than others.There have been many times when I felt i couldn't go another step or another day and I had to fall on my knees to God and ask Him to help me because there was nothing i could do and i felt i couldn't handle any more. Have you felt that way? Have you ever had someone tell you when you share your struggles ," I guess God never gives you more than you can handle!" ????
I have and I understand what they mean but I have to somewhat disagree.It's always more than you can handle.I don't think you're ever suppose to get to where you don't need Him.
The truth is,there's no way we can handle the challenges of this life on our on,no matter how hard we try.Believe me I've tried it and I make a mess every time.God wants us to depend on Him daily.
In 2 Corinthians 12:8,the apostle Paul talked about His struggle with a problem he called a "thorn" in his flesh: "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.But He said to me,'My grace is sufficient for you,for my power is made perfect in weakness.' "
Paul goes on to say in 2 Corinthians 12:10,"That is why,for Christ's sake,I delight in weaknesses,in insults,in hardships,in persecutions,in difficulties.For when I am weak,then I am strong.
Is there something in your life that you can't handle? A problem you can't solve? Praise God for it ! Because when we're weak,He is strong. God's grace really is sufficient my friends.Let Him be your strength today.
I love you my friends.I write these posts to help me and hopefully help and encourage you.If there's anything thing i can do to help you or encourage you please don't hesitate to send me a message.
God Bless Love, Jerry
