Do you have more than your fair share of troubles?

Do you think you are having more than you can handle?

There is a popular cliche that says that God doesn\'t put more on us than we can handle. \\xa0I know that is not correct.\\xa0

he Bible simply doesn\\u2019t say that God will never\\xa0put more on you than you can handle. This is a misreading of 1 Corinthians 10:13, which says, \\u201cNo temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.\\u201d

God always puts more on us than we can handle. Sometimes the Lord, in his sovereign purpose, crushes us (Hebrews 12:4-12). He breaks us so that he can remake us. Think of how Jeremiah cried out in Lamentations because God has left his\\xa0nation,\\xa0city, and people utterly desolate and decimated. Think of all the psalms in which the psalmists cry out to God for bruising them. Think of our Lord Jesus in whom \\u201cit was the LORD\\u2019s will to crush him and cause him to suffer\\u201d (Isaiah 53:10).

2 Corinthians 4:8-12

8\\xa0We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9\\xa0Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10\\xa0Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11\\xa0For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus\' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12\\xa0So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

Prayer.
