It has been said that God will not put us through more than we can handle. The Scripture that people are taking a stab at to back that up is found in 1st Corinthians 10:13 which says "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it." The key word in this passage is "temptation". No where in the passage does it say God will not take you past what you are able to handle. This is specifically in context talking about temptation not circumstances.
When it all comes down, there may and most likely will be times in our lives that God pushes us to the point of utter exhaustion. Why? Simple! So we realize it is He that we live, move, and breathe in. Without mistake, His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We become strong only through His strength.
Ah, but alas, He truly wants to give us that strength to overcome. Let go to hold on to the very strength of God. It is only in letting go that we find He is the Rope that will hold us.
Have a great week.
