Temptation/Tribulation

Shalom saints.🤗 ⚘  I want to speak about something many Christians say, that "God will not give you more than you can handle".

They say that about sickness, pain, trouble, which is incorrect.

When it comes to afflictions and tribulations then yes, God does give you "more than you can handle". He will allow you to be burdened excessively, beyond your strength, so that you may despair even of life, but that's when we trust in God even unto death.

Regarding temptations God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able, but will provide a way of escape, so that we are able to endure it.

God bless you in the blessed Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.✝️💜

No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, so He 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.

1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB2020

For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, of our afflictions [tribulation] which occurred in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life.

2 Corinthians 1:8 NASB2020

Better

He sings that things are going to get better. Yes, but only when we get to heaven.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. ~Revelation 21:4

Rejoice!

We are told in the word of God to rejoice in the Lord...always!  Not just sometimes, when we feel like it, no, always!  Even through afflictions, persecutions, hard times, trials, tribulations, we must rejoice always!  Paul did exactly that when he was in prison.  He was praying and singing hymns of praise to God.  That is how we fight the enemy, that is how we resist the enemy (satan) and he will flee from us.

We are told how to have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, by not worrying!  By making our prayers and requests known to God and thanking Him as we do so.  That's faith in action, you ask God for something and thank Him at the same time as if you have already received it!

Rejoice in the Lord always!  Have faith, do not worry, rejoice!  Praise Him through the storm, praise Him after the storm, praise Him always.  Our God of peace will grant you peace!  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. •~Philippians 4:4-9~•
