God Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle

Description

This sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? After all, to make such a statement seems to help out with the problem of evil that is so prevalent in our fallen world. If there is a God who is good and loving, can’t He throttle back on the pain and suffering, especially in the lives of His children? As we examine this statement today, we need to make four critical adjustments to our thinking.


I. A Misunderstood Verse (1 Corinthians 10:13)

II. A Misguided Statement

III. A Missing Perspective (2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:17)

IV. A Meaningful Example (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)


Talk with God: Meditate on 2 Corinthians 12:9 and thank the Lord that His grace and strength allow us to “boast in [our] infirmities.”

Talk with others: As a family or Connect Group, pray for the families and members of our community who visited our campus for the Thanksgiving Pickup Party.

Talk with kids: How does it make you feel to know God is always in control and He cares for you?
