Good post.
Another great verse that gets misapplied is “I will not give you more than you can bear.” That verse is in regards to temptation, but people want to apply it to health. It can’t mean health because everyone dies. Everyone’s body eventually at a time of God’s choosing succumbs to more than they can bear.
Thanks so much for your post. When things are out of my control and I am having a hard time being patient and accepting what is going on, I try to find a story in the O.T. where I can identify with the people involved and apply it to my situation.
This is exactly what I needed to help me put aside the negative feelings I have about our current political situation and rely on my faith to see me through for the Lord and all who will come after me.
