When we are needy Christ does His best work, but be warned. Someone, maybe even some well-meaning soul, is going to tell you, Dont worry. God will never give you more than you can handle.I double-dog-dare you to find that in the scriptures. The closest you can come is found in 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.This talks about an escape from temptation; it does not say that you will not be faced with more than you can handle. The mother whose baby is born and dies, the father who loses his eyesight in a construction accident and can no longer provide for his family, the child who hurries home from school every day hoping that his mother hasnt yet succumbed to the cancer that he sees ravish her body day by day . . . all of these souls have more than they can handleon their own.But with Christ as their companion on the journey through lifeand only with Christall things are possible. Without Him, we fail no matter how far we manage on our own. We can never cross over without Christ and His all-access Atonement.
