Do you know that God will not put more on you then you can bare?

It says in the King James bible that God will not put more on you then you can bare. Sometimes we all feel like the whole weight of the world is on our shoulders. Seems like we have a rough time at times in our lives. And we wonder why this is happening to us and why not this person or someone other then us. I am as guilty as anyone else of having this feeling in my life. But it says in 1st Corinthians 10:13 Ther hath no temtation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer to be tempted above that ye are able: but with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Did you know that God won't put more on you then you can bare? Do you ever get the feeling that you have the weight of the whole world on your shoulders? Do you have faith that God will always be with you? God don't leave us we leave God out of our lives when this happens! Don't loose faith in God HE won't loose faith in you!

Hello free_man good day. Nice post. Your topic timely relatively happen in my life these days. In fact I just finished posting it here. The unusual burden I have right now (if you happen to read my post)feels me so sad. I would not need to explain what's that post about just read it if you have time. In my case I am not blaming anyone of what I have been these days. This is the worst of all the worst ever I experienced in all trials in my life. I am sure, I could not stand it all should I lost hope from Him and stop worshiping Him. This is the only hold I have that I push me to go on. The truth is, it is almost a year now that I've been suffering from this onslaught. Life must go on with hope and strong faith. This is normal I guess because life is full of sacrifices, trials, burdens that would put you on keep calling on Him. Imagine if you do not have everything to ask for, what things would you ask from Him? Nothing. Besides, if you have all the richness in life these would put you on temptations on doing things seldom man can afford to have and try it. And if you're already addicted to it, this would leads you nowhere, makes you a wicked and crooked man in the eyes of our Creator. Nice post my friend... Mobhomeir here...

Hi Mobhomeir. Don't need the verse know that God loves those that try to live good and bring HIS word to others. Where it says that if you blame God HE will put more on you then what was there in the first place is Jeremiah23;33-34 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt say unto them, what burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord. And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, the burden of The Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

Hi Mobhomeir. Send me a link to the post you want me to read. God has to be upset with this world. Look at all the sin going on in this world. Heck when I was growing up I didn't see all the BS I see these days. Heck children killing children and humans raping children. You never heard of a person doing such bad things. Now with the internet you see all these creeps coming out of the wood works. The TV shows are about rape and killing crimes and more crimes. When I was young you could buy a basket full of grocies for 5 bucks now days you can barley buy a can of coffee for 5 bucks. In the bible it says that there will be earthquakes in diverse places heck the state over from me is having earthquakes a lot and we live in the middle of the US. The end is at hand my friend things are going to get worse before they get better. Rumors of wars isn't a problem when you hear of peace peace that is when the anti christ will come. But he only has 5 months to try and take all the souls he can straight to hell with him. Good luck and God bless my friend. You will stay in my prayers.

I think the key to this passage is that God makes a way of escape. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He used Scripture to defeat the devil. Since Jesus is our example, we also need to use Scripture during those times when we're tempted. There are times when our burdens seem more than we can bear and Jesus does tells us in John 16:33 that in this world you have tribulation, trials, distress, and frustration; but we should be of good cheer because Jesus has overcome the world.

Hi 6Precious. You are so right Jesus came here to show us how to live but HE also came here to give us all salvation from sin. That is what our preacher teaches he says be thankful that God loves us enough to give us these frustrations. Thank you for sharing this passage with all of us!

Hi free_man, Praise God! I live with the knowledge of his love everyday that I wakeup in the land of the living. All is not well in the world, but all is right in my soul. For I know he cares for me and carries me each and every day and in every way. I cannot, shall not, care not, to live without God in my life. I am a devoted believer, with evidence and confidence that the living God truly exist, not just in my life, but in the lives of those who don't believe in him. Just because they don't believe don't mean that he doesn't exist. When I go through the trials and tribulations that I thought I could not bear, I know that I did not make it through on my own strength. I know it was the grace of God that allowed me STAND!!!! I don't care what anyone else thinks or believe, It is their right to believe what the want, but I, I shall not be moved.

Hi Angelgirl. Amen Prais God for all his blessings each and every day! Without God in our lives I think it would be a lot harder to live daily. I thank God I had the mother I had that got all of her children into church when we were small children. I lean on God daily and I know HE is the only one I can really depend on! Wow what a testimony for the LORD God almighty! Thank you for sharing.

I agree that our daily lives, in almost all cases, are full of burden of problems and challenges. But one thing is sure - problems, challenges and even temptations did not come from God. It was confirmed at James 1:13 saying that for evil things God cannot be tried nor does He himself try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire.

Hi Holdingfast and welcome to my lot. I believe your right we all have to over come the evil and let God be our guide daily and life isn't so bad that way. We all bring on our own trials and tribulations by how we live our lives daily. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! Thanks also for this post it is very inspiring. All of us i think experienced weight or problems that we cry out and ask God for the answers. Whenever i feel alone, down or tempted, i pray to God for mercy and ask Him to give me wisdom and help me solve my worries. He is really bigger than our problems. God is good all the time.

Hi Money and welcome to my lot. I turn my problems over to God daily I always ask God to guide us daily. I know God can handle my problems better then me. Your welcome I posted this cause I know many think that because they are having problems in their lives and they might be thinking that God has left them. God will never leave us we may leave HIM but HE will never leave us.

Greetings, this scripture is very true. I have brought this scripture to my sister's attention on several occasions regarding her fears and anxieties. However, it doesn't seem to sink through to her. I know this is true with all I had to go through court after NHHS gain custody of my youngest daughter at the age of 15. But by enduring it, by the grace of God, I can now say my daughter has been release from them. Of course, she still doesn't live in my home but at least I don't have to have HHS and the court system to give me permission to talk or see my daughter in person because my daughter is now of legal age. So during this situation and dealing with my sister's so-called mental illness did at times make me feel like I was carrying a big load. But one thing I can say even though it seem like I was, those were the times I leaned on God the most to bring me through it. So yes, I believe my faith has been tried and tested to be true with Him by my side all the way. But for my sister she is having a very difficult time because she is so confused to the point that she is unable to truly believe and know whether she is saved and that her faith needs to be in Christ not herself. Well, I hope I have helped in answering these questions, it was a good discussion. God bless and have wonderful day.

Hello Cediane and welcome to my lot. And God bless you for all the struggles you have gone through. And congratulations on being able to talk to your daughter. I will keep your sister in my prayers. She is the only one that can make her mind up to trust in Christ. If I was you I would get a small vial of olive oil and ask God to bless that oil and then I would anoint my home myself and order all evil away from you and your home and back to where it came from. And believe me it really works. We started anointing ourselves and our home even our dogs and all the evil people we know can't even enter our gate. Proof is in the pudding. A real evil person showed up at our gate yesterday and they couldn't get through the gate. Through the obedience of anointing our drive God kept this person out of our yard. James 5 tells us to anoint. Again God bless and keep up the faith. Always let God be your guide!

But sometimes to reach the most of your faith God wish to put something more than you can bare but it only to a certain faith within the purest man's heart

Hello Freeman, there's no way that God would ever put more burden than the one i have now. he would only do it if he believes i can overcome it. If he does. then i won't be alive today since i didn't have the experience to handle that problem.

Hello LetranKnight. I have always known that God will always be there and guide me. But lets face it some times we all fall short and when we do God gives us a little boot to teach us that without HIM we wouldn't be here. I know some people that blame God for all their problems and think that they are the only ones that have ever gone through these problems. I think that is why I wrote this discussion. I was just wondering if there was many people out there that knew that God loves them and all HE wants in return is our love. Hosea6:6 Ror I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Meaning God wants our love not our burnt sacrifice.

Hi Graceekwenx. When the going gets tough then the tough (those that believe in God) get tougher. Christians don't give ground we take ground. That is a quote from our teacher of the true word of God. http://www.shepherdschapel.com/index.htm It is always nice to know that God is always with us.

Yap God is always in our guidance, last year my wife and me lost our job and turned out back to Him but we went back to Him for help and guidance , He really will give some test that you really must surpass like now we are in the brink of problems but I know that God is just testing us. Lord is my divine savour and my father as a whole.

Hi Cadguy. I think it is important for all of us to have problems in our lives, I think it is what guides us back to Gods loving arms. I pray each day that this day will be the way God wants me to live out each day that I am alive. Your story reminds me of when the devil tempted Christ and in the end of his temptations on Christ, Christ tells satan to get behing HIM. That is what God wants us to do when we feel tempted to do wrong. And if we do wrong that is what brings on the problems I believe. It is our own faults for problems.

I agree.. the Heavenly Father is watching over us and it is up to us to trust him.. all we need to do is pray to him and trust in his heart.. for whatever burden we have, he knew that we can carry it before he even placed it on our shoulders.. its just up to us to realize that we can carry this burdens..

I have not read the bible in a long while, and do not know if I really believe that a higher being will not put more on a person than they can bare. If that was really true, there would be some relief before a person makes a life ending decision. Having a wife and mother lose both her husband and child seems like more than any one person should have to bear.

Hi Asyria and welcome to my lot. God didn't make that person decide to end their life. God gave all of us a brain and HE wants us to use that brain. God don't put things on us we put things on us by not living the way God wants us to live. I study Gods word daily and it says somewhere in the bible if we blame God for our problems HE will send more then we can handle. I wouldn't go around blaming God for anything, we all bring on what happens in our lives. Again welcome to my lot.
