More Than You Can Bear?

In reflection this morning on the verse, 1 Cor 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 (shown in KJ Study Bible alternately as trials) also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it,” that when we read this, most times we are looking for an external answer or help. We feel disappointed or let down when it does not magically appear, but it is probable that God is the escape. Simply turning to God is the way to bear it. Rather than always looking outwardly for help or escape, we may need to turn inward.

It's not always about getting us out of the situation but sometimes is about getting us through it. God will always be with us and He is the way out or through even the worst of times.

Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time.
