Today we looked at the very interesting phrase “God will never give you more than you can handle.” Is that true? No. It is similar to 1 Corinthians 10:13, but there are significant differences as well. “God will never give you more than you can handle” is simply unbiblical, unhelpful, and untrue. It puts our focus on ourselves instead of God and ignores the power of the church. God will often give us more than we can handle… but He can handle it. Today, we discussed how God uses the church to bear one another’s burdens.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
