“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
(I Corinthians 10:13)
In the midst of suffering, we have all wished God would take the problem away.? That may be right where you are today.
Have you heard the story of the old grandfather clock?? It worked perfectly for years… that is… until the owner showed pity.?
He thought, “Such an old clock; it’s a shame it’s had to bear those heavy weights year after year.”? So, he took off the weights… and the clock stopped!?
At times we all long for an uncomplicated life free from trouble.?
But God knows exactly how much weight we can bear.? More importantly, the Bible says those trials are to refine us… to make us better.?
Don’t look to have the weights taken away… ask God to teach you the lessons of those weights in your life.
