Most of us have said today's title and probably more than once! The word 'more' could be described as work, kids, aging parents, spouses, home life, relationships, our health, anything that becomes a trial.
Trials come in all shapes and sizes and at any given time. They don't call us up and ask if we are ready for one. Some surprise us and usually come when our plate is already full from other trials. Some are not as bad as we think and then some are devastating. We have all heard the saying and have said it to others going through trials "God will not give us more than we can handle." This statement is not biblically correct. The truth is God never promised that He would not give us more than we can handle but He did promise that He would be with us through the trial providing help and strength.
Psalm 121:2 "My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth."
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
The next time our thoughts lead us to "I don't know how much more I can take." Remember this.
We are not alone, and we can do all things through Christ who helps us and gives us strength.
Love in Christ,
Tera
