Len Asks a Question....

Steve (dude..)

I think I asked you awhile ago but I don't remember the answer. When people say God doesn't give you more than you can handle (you know, the old footprints in the sand thing), is that just a guess, or is that something from the bible??


1Co 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."

This the verse you are talking about. It is primarily dealing with temptation. God will not allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities and he always provides an escape. Which is great if you really think about...But you also need to take into account God sovereignty and love for you. You are going to face tough times (Jesus said "for when the flood come" Luke 6:48) not so much temptation...but he never leaves you or forsakes you.

Remember Paul also said "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13

Good stuff there dude...chew on that one awhile...

Thank you Len for emailing a question...
