The Word of God is always a source of comfort especially during times of testing. Life is made up of tests.
Some of our people are going through tough testing times. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 the Bibles reminds us of three things to consider about tests. “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.”
- It is not UNIQUE – “common to man.” What ever is happening to us has already happened to many people before. We are not alone in our suffering.
- It is not UNDULY – God knows how much we can take and it is never “above that ye are able.”
- It is not UNBEARABLE – God provides a way, not to always avoid it, but“that ye may be able to bear it.”
If you are going through testing times, rest in God’s promise that His grace is sufficient.
