Readings:
Job 15
I Corinthians 10:1-13
Focus:
I Corinthians 10:13b: "God keeps faith and will not let you be tested beyond your powers, but when the test comes he will at the same time provide a way out and so enable you to endure."
It is a fact that suffering happens in life. No matter how faithful we are, bad circumstances occur. We may be wonderful, selfless servants of God, and yet we may be stricken with disease, or discord in our families, or troubles in our jobs, etc.
It is beyond the scope of this blog post to discuss why God allows evil to happen to good people. But we can be assured that he does not leave us comfortless; when we turn to him, he fills us with his sustaining love.
And more than that, as Paul says, God will never let us suffer beyond what we can endure. He will always provide a way out. His care for us is so great that he will make sure of that. If it seems that our troubles are very hard, then it means that we are able to endure them! When they become too hard, God will provide a way out. And until then, he will be with us, loving us and comforting us. I know that it is so.
