I was going through the scripture and God showed me these verses of the bible to properly comprehend. However, there's a verse in the bible that says God CAN NOT give us more than we can handle, but seems more explicit on this other verse. Lets check these verses out!
The bible say..... But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able......(1 Cor 10:13). But that's temptation, like the case of Job.
God often allow us to go through some pressure, stress, trials and diverse form of difficulties than we can handle to enable us stay connected to him. Often times in our relationship with God we seems to wander away in the face of comfort and convenient. Difficult moment is indicative of the fact that you are not alone! You are a creature under the watch and company of the creator - so look up!!!
In 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, Paul say
"We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure,
so that we despaired of life itself…But this happened that we
might not rely on ourselves but on God.”
This verse is saying - we will fault our mission when we rely on our own strength and ability. The bible says " its not by power, nor by might but by the spirit...( Zechariah 4:6)," ... the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong... ( Ecl 9:11).So, when next you feel cast down or pressed from every sides of life all you have to do is - Look Up. For you help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2).
So, i can now say that "God will often give us more than we can handle, but never more than we can handle when we depend on His strength and Grace, instead of our strength.
