1Co 10:13 There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Song: God will never lay on you a load too heavy to carry
He will never put you in the river you cannot cross
Whatever the trials or the evil may be
He will never lay on you a load to heavy to carry
He will never put you in the river you cannot cross
My Observations:
1) One thing is sure: God weighs every cross against the capacity He has built in us. So, if the cross is weightier, it is not meant for us.
2) Even if length of time will want to make the bearable cross unbearable at a point, God has already prepared a Simon of Cyrene (Mat.27:32) waiting to take it up at that point as a way of escape.
3) What is left us as a responsibility is learning to summon up the God-built strength in us to endure the cross to its end. Only those who endure the cross will enjoy the crown.
Action Point: At the end of the story lies the glory, please, finish the manuscript.
Prayer: Lord, help me to endure the cross so that I can enjoy the crown.
