Fantastic Friday #232-Gives

Gives

34 Proclaim the power of God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
whose power is in the skies.

35 You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary;
the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.
Praise be to God! Psalm 68:34-35

Have you heard the statement the Lord gives us only what we can handle . How many times do some of us sit there and think that is so true; but then something happens and we say to ourselves, "I can't deal with this." If you notice, I had that statement in quotes, and maybe that is because that was an exact quote from me this week. Why is it we forget so quickly what God has for us and that we aren't supposed to handle it or deal with it by ourselves. Maybe we need to focus less on the "I" statements and focus more on the "He" statements. He has given this to teach me. He has been there to support me. He has given me power and strength to deal with this. He is the reason I am who I am. Just remember that when you are telling yourself you can't deal with something it is probably very true, because we truly aren't handling it, He is through His Power and Strength He has given us.
