Is NOT Biblical.
It is one of those slogans that many of us, me included, at one time or another have attributed to God's word. It happened again last evening in our small group session.
God, in actuality, frequently gives us more than we can handle simply because that is when we finally, in some cases, surrender to God as the One who can guide and love us through one of life's troubles. Let's take our end times, as an example. We all will experience physical death, and at that point, none of us will be able to overcome the fact. We will be without strength and our bodies will be in the inevitable process of shutting down for the final time. I am guessing that everyone, Christian to "atheist," will call on God to help us through this most final difficulty.
God knows us as not even we do. He will, therefore, present situations wherein we must turn to Him. We grow up being told that We can work it out, We can do it our way, etc. Yet, God will use life's circumstances to draw us to Himself. There would be no good reason to equip us with everything we need for every situation because then there really wouldn't be any reason to turn to God.
The best of all scenarios is to learn, as early as possible, to depend and rely totally on God. That's what He wants. He wants us to follow His rules, speak frequently to Him through prayer and understand that the One who created us loves us and sustains us, yes, even when times are much too tough for us to handle.
What an awesome Creator.
Praise Him!
