God wont put more on you than you can bare!!!……This sounds like a Bible verse, but it’s actually a misquote. (The Bible says God won’t let you be tempted beyond what you can bear—see 1 Cor. 10:13). When it comes to suffering and trials, however, the reality is different. Life will give you more than you can handle.
The Apostle Paul admitted that he was "crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure." Why would God allow that? Paul gives the answer: "But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God."
If we could handle everything on our own, we wouldn’t need God. The truth is, God often allows us to reach the end of our rope so we can grab onto Him. Your weakness is not a liability; it is an invitation for God’s strength to take over.
Reflection: What burden are you trying to carry in your own strength today? What would it look like to surrender it to God?
