Have you ever heard people say, “God will never give you more than you can handle!” It’s supposed to make us feel better, but the truth is, God never said that, and if you asked Jesus, He would probably say, that wasn’t true for Himself either. Jesus had to handle death on the cross.

In other words, there is no promise that we won’t get more than we think we can deal with. What we are promised is what Paul said in this letter to the Corinthians—God’s grace is sufficient for you and God’s power is made perfect in weakness. In those moments, where it feels like it’s all too much, we can trust grace is enough, and God’s presence in the midst of it is real.

Today, ask yourself what difficult circumstance you need to trust God with using the strength of Jesus. Then choose to be dependent on Him and not yourself.
