Bad Lip Reading: God Never Gives Us More Than We Can Handle

from Gateway Church Austin · host Gateway Church Austin

When our friends or acquaintances are going through a hard time, most of us struggle to know what to say. Too often, we fall back on well-meaning clichés to try to cheer them up, but they often do more harm than good. For example, a common phrase we’ll offer is "God will never give you more than you can handle." While we probably mean for that phrase to encourage others to trust God, is this old saying even true?
