God is Faithful

Wow! has it been a month since I posted last. I can't believe how time flew, I've just been in a whirlwind and totally forgot. I'm so sorry for those of you who are so faithful in checking in on me. Well, at prayer yesterday, a scripture came up that I'd been wrestling with for a long while now. You know how people say, "God only gives you what you can handle." Do they apply their own meaning to that? The truth is that "God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond your stregnth." 1 Cor 10:13 He always gives you a way out before you fall into SIN - not suffering. If suffering will cause you to sin, he won't allow you to endure too much. Some people endure alot of suffering, trial, hardship and some people even die young. I guess they can "handle" it. Maybe they will even be awarded a high degree of glory in heaven. I'll think of that the next time I can't get out of bed because I'm too sick to take care of my sick children or school the others, clean the house or pay the bills and the dog won't stop barking... I'll just lie there and prepare myself for the pearly gates. I can handle that.
