St Paul said so in his letter to the Corinthians:<br /><br />“Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, He will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out”. (1 Corinthians Chapter 10 Verse 13).<br /><br />God is always in control, and He allows things to happen in our lives, good and bad. Often these are of our own making anyway; and He will see us through them if we trust Him enough.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-81677117455985710932018-04-07T11:58:13.537-07:002018-04-07T11:58:13.537-07:00I remember hearing as a kid that God never gives y...I remember hearing as a kid that God never gives you anything you can't handle. In reality, we really aren't in control, God is. We make decisions, some good, some bad but when I find myself in an uncomfortable situation, God has always been there and sometimes I tend to forget that. He's there all the time!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250609752743750337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-41673615431024555612018-04-07T11:26:36.807-07:002018-04-07T11:26:36.807-07:00You are so fortunate, Terri.

Yes. Yes!
You say it well.
This was good to...Yes. Yes. Yes!<br /><br />You say it well.<br /><br />This was good to read today.<br /><br />"Thy will be done", and honestly mean it?"<br /><br />I think this is the key. I don't believe in unanswered prayer. Sometimes we aren't listening or don't like the answer. Sometimes it is no, sometimes yes, sometimes wait. Sometimes it is, "Do this," and we wanted to do something else. But as the saying goes, don't be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. His character and our experience with Him lets us know that. I suppose that is something we learn because we see it again and again. Experience is a good teacher.<br /><br />God bless you, Victor.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.com
