It can be done

Matthew 25:25

21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things

Have you ever hear the saying the Lord will not give me more than I can handle……I just wish he did not trust me so much?

I know we all feel like that from time to time, for some it might feel like all the time. Know that the Lord has a plan for you. The above passage is from the parable of the talents. The point behind it is when the Lord see that you can take on a few things he will give you more to take care of. The Lord will not put anything in your path that you cannot overcome.

Have you read the book of Job? It is a testament to the ability of one man to take on unimaginable personal hardships and persevere. The Devil thought for sure that he could get Job to break, but the Lord knew Job would make it through. If the Lord had doubts he never would have let it happen.

Our lives are no different; God knows what we can take on and what we cannot. There is little doubt that there will be things the come up in our lives that seem impossible, but just as fire is used to harden steel, we too become stronger in faith with each passing obstacle. I know what your thinking, that I have no idea just how hard things can get. I will tell you the truth, if you will put your faith in God, and believe that he will sustain you, there is nothing that you cannot accomplish. Psalm 41:3 and 55:22 tell us that the Lord will not let the righteous fall.

If God did not think we could do it, he would not of put the fate of our world in our hands. I know that sounds a little dramatic, but if you think about it, that is what he has done. He has told us to go out and spread the word, so all might come to know him ……I guess we must have done something right, because that sure sounds like a lot of trust! If the Lord is willing to trust us with that much, how can we doubt his trust in us, or his plan?

When things in our life seem impossible, we should take a moment and remember if he brought us to it, he will bring us through it. Focus on God; let him take care of the problem.
