God DOES Give You More Than You Can Handle

In today’s tweet, Joel Osteen offers a familiar slogan. He says, "God will not give you more than you can handle. If you have a big challenge today, that means you have a big destiny."
First, Osteen’s catchphrase creates confusion. It sounds like God won’t let terrible circumstances befall you. But that’s not true. God never promises we will escape the difficulties of life. Jesus promises just the opposite-tribulation.
Second, even though our circumstances may feel overwhelming, God is still good. Because He has not left us, we can rely on him. In fact, he has promised to work all things together for good for those called according to his purpose.
Third, some might be thinking, what about 1 Corinthians 10:13? Two quick thoughts. First, this second passage is about temptations, not trials. When we look at the context, Paul warns the Church not to fall for the same temptations the Israelites fell for. They engaged in idolatry (v. 7), sexual immorality (v. 8), and grumbling (v. 10).
Paul’s point in 1 Cor. 10 is clear. We experience temptation just like the Israelites did. But with every temptation, God faithfully provides a way of escape from the temptation so we’ll able to endure it. In other words, God has given us the ability to beat the temptation with the help of the Spirit.

If you have sickness, will you not be tempted to question and complain God just like in the case of Job? Is temptation only pertains to lust? Will you not be tempted to backslide and deny your faith after you loss your job, after your loved one dies? Will you not be tempted to steal when you are in poverty? Tell me?

God is a much much much better coach than any who has ever lived! He will push you and show you just how strong you can be. We will need this if we are indeed the generation of the great tribulation.

    Yes, because kids who are wealthy enough to play sports experience the same circumstances as someone born into poverty and starvation. Christianity works in the West because we can give God credit for our convenient and easy lifestyles, and works in poverty stricken nations as a salve for the horrible circumstances they face. Why would the most secular nations in the world have the greatest quality of life? It almost seems like either God doesn't exist, or he chooses to bless the nations that have the least amount of believers? Nordic countries have some of the best quality of life metrics in the entire world, and yet they have some of the highest levels of secularism.

    This is an awful practice. Consider my experience. In H.S. I wanted to play on the baseball team. The coach had a bunch of "stations" set up where one would do push ups & another sit-ups & runs & other exercises. So I got in line and proceeded to do as was expected. I gave it my all....being pushed by the philosophy the same as this retired "coach". By the time I got to the 4th or 5th "station" my body was completely exhausted. I was ready to pass out. I got up and walked out of the gym. If this is what playing baseball was going to require then I was just not good enough. I went to the showers and got dressed. Meanwhile the "training" was over and the other kids asked me why I quit. I told them but they said I was the only kid in the gym who wasn't "dogging" it (not giving my all) and tried to talk me into not quitting. But I was ashamed of "under preforming" because of this kind of coaching philosophy. Never played baseball in H.S. because of it. H.S. baseball is not the military and should never be treated as such. And people are not all the same. And do you think my "coach" ever said a word of encouragement? Shame on him for breaking a kid's spirit and robbing him of having fun playing a little baseball.

    "In the end", does this refer to us continuing life on this earth after the circumstance? How does this reconcile with the fact that many of the early disciples were martyred for their faith in Christ? Stephen was stoned to death (Acts 7:54-60), others crucified, etc. The power and hope of Jesus Christ provides us not an "if then" faith, where our faith in God is dependent on whether we get through the fire or water, but an "EVEN IF" faith, that even if we don't survive whatever physical circumstance, that our hope is in the blood of Christ, who fully paid for our egregious debt of sin. I do think the situation changes when we transition from "life circumstances like persecution" (as mentioned above) TO "temptations on our soul from the devil" 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. -1 Corinthians 10:13

    Happy Birthday & Happy 1-year RPL Anniversary, mr.B! Here's a cake AND an apple: 🎂🍎Btw, I found almost 50 NT verses in the Bible talking about warnings of hate, persecution and trouble for His followers. Maybe Joel should start open the Bible in his sermons, instead of just holding it up with the crowd in beginning in that mantra?🤔

    I had a daughter born at 24 weeks, spent 4 months in the hospital and then came home with a nicu of equipment. I didn't sleep for more than two hours per day for a year (no naps, I couldn't leave her unmatched or she could literally die). I heard this phrase a lot from people. I could not handle it, but God did. Now my daughter is thriving as a 3 year old and equipment free! I praise God for that outcome but we were submissive to what God's will for her and us was. It was most definitely more than I could handle. But God handled it in his own time in his own way. There were so many things outside of our control, so many times when we were asked to give of ourselves when we had nothing left. God is capable of anything, I don't have to be capable of everything.

    Just came across this video. Have been dealing with a season of suffering myself and more than one well meaning christian has said this to me. I think it brings up another problem the sin of self sufficiency. If someone says that to me my thought is then "oh i must be stronger than i thought, God knows i have some hidden strength that i dont know about". Instead of relying on Him i am looking to myself. What i say about my current suffering is that im completely overwhelmed but thats ok. He is in charge and i will rely on Him.

    God never promised to deliver us from suffering. Just from spiritual death. When I messed my leg up I never blamed God. Oh I was mad. Not at him. But myself. I prayed and got peace but through that I mostly recovered. So keep moving further and pray. Sure enough we can make it through the storm. I'm not saying we won't suffer. But we can make it through it. Fall. Then rise higher than where you were before.
