GOD WON’T PUT ANYTHING ON ME I CAN’T HANDLE...REALLY???

Have you ever heard that saying? Well it’s a lie! God will allow things to happen in our lives that brings us to our knees! Consider Job for a moment- He lost his family. He lost his wealth. He lost his health. All within 24hrs...but God didn’t give him more than he could handle?? I’m sorry... without Jesus hanging onto me I would be blown away! I go crazy just dealing with my cell phone company!!

1 Corinthians 10:13, There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Sure, He gives us more than we can handle! He does in order for us to be driven to our knees. He does it so we will call out to His Son!

Crutch, Feet, or Legs...

I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.  My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for that day. --Abraham Lincoln

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Psalm 95:6

When one recognizes their own insufficiencies, they are one step closer in becoming someone the Lord can use. We are nothing without the Lord. Someone once told a Pastor friend, “Jesus is just a crutch for the Christian.” My Pastor friend said, “No sir He is not! He is my feet, my legs, and so much more!”

Who is Jesus to you? One song says; He is my strength when I am weak, He is the treasure that I seek…but I just like it when I hear someone say, “He’s my Lord and Saviour!” Amen!
