No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.(1 Corinthians 10:13)
I know we cannot quite understand why God has us go through things. We plead with God . . . "Not now!" . . . "Please God, I just can't handle this at this time!" . . . "God you know this is a bad time."
And yet God does know and He does care and He does provide us with all we need to keep running the race . . . with HIM by our side, even carrying us!
Most of us recall The Footprints poem: I love how it finishes.
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you."
God has prepared each of us for the times we are facing . . . and will face. He gives us grace and power to endure. That endurance will bring its own reward as well. (1 Corinthians 9:24)
Hang in there . . . keep running . . . God is with you!
