LOAD LIMIT

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

365 DEVOTIONS FROM OUR DAILY BREAD

LOAD LIMIT

READ:  1 Corinthians 10:1-13

God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond
what you are able.  1 Corinthians 10:13

We’ve all seem load-limit signs on highways, bridges, and elevators.  Knowing that too much strain can cause sever damage or complete collapse, engineers determine the exact amount of stress that various materials can safely endure.  Posted warnings tell us not to exceed the maximum load.

Human beings also have their load limits, which vary from person to person.  Some people, for example, can bear the pressure of trial and temptation better than others, yet everyone has a breaking point and can take only so much.

At times, circumstances and people seem to be pushing us beyond what we can bear.  But the Lord knows our limitations and never allows any difficulties to enter our lives that exceed our strength and ability to endure.  This is especially true when we’re enticed by sin.  According to 1 Corinthians 10:13, “God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able.”

So when trials and temptations press down on you, take courage.  Remember, your heavenly Father knows the limits of your ability to stand up under life’s pressures.  Draw on His strength; no temptation will ever be greater than that!  RDH

If you yield to God, you won’t given to sin.
