Introduction
Have you ever gone through a difficult spell in your life and had someone come up to you and say, “You know, God won’t give you more than you can handle?”
I’m sure we all have at some time or another had someone tell us this.
They mean to encourage us, but this is actually a misquoted Bible verse
So, God does say that He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, but this does not mean that we will not go through trials in life that are more than we can handle.
The key is whether we are operating in our power or God’s power.
Paul even said that some of his trials were directly sent by God for the sake of humbling him.
In , Paul speaks of being caught up into heaven to see things that couldn’t even be spoken of and that God sent a thorn in the flesh to humble him.
2:2-
2 Cor.
12:2-
But this morning, we want to turn to what Paul says in about the frailty of our flesh and how God uses our weaknesses to bring glory to his name.
So this morning, while God will give you more than YOU can handle, it is never more than He can handle.
Let’s look at our text this morning.
Read Text.
Pray.
1.
Our lives are a display of the power of God (vv.
7-12)
given over to death, so that the life of Jesus may be displayed in us = we have to die to ourselves daily
2. We must have faith in the power of God (vv.
13-15)
- the whole Psalm is about God’s salvation and deliverance
3. We are renewed daily by the power of God (vv.16-18)
What we are going through today is real, it stings, it crushes, but it cannot defeat us.
It is temporal.
It is nothing compared to what lies ahead for us.
Conclusion:
We all need to realize that one day, something is going to take us out of this world.
We are all breaking down.
We are all falling apart.
Death is a reality that we all will face one day.
But we live in the reality that death is defeated by the power of the cross.
Jesus has conquered the grave so that we can say,
5:54-
Has God given you more than you can handle?
Maybe that’s because you you are not supposed to handle it yourself.
Come to Jesus and He will give you rest!
