Basically, I posted something a while ago but God testing us and how it's because he knows we're capable and ish like that. Yeah it's true, a pastor told me "Whenever God puts you in a situation, he always provides a way out." Recently, my friend commented on the link I posted and this is what she said in case you're too lazy to copy and paste the link:
"Yo bro :)
God tests us and throws challenges at us, yes, and He will afflict you if necessary to the point that you ARE overwhelmed! Not because He knows you are capable; this is untrue! We can do nothing without Him. (John15:5) But rather, the purpose is for you to know that you AREN'T capable, in fact you're weak beyond measure! Affliction beyond what you can bear is for the purpose of you directing all your attention and all your hope toward His Son: the only one who IS capable, who is your only way out...who already demonstrated this mighty strength when He conquered over sin and death to redeem your life from the grave. :)
2 Cor. 1:8-10 - For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead."
That really hit me hard...and it was something I definitely needed. To know that, sometimes...God will put you in situations that are unbearable and he will break you down to the point of failure and till you can't take no more...but only because he wants you to recognize that you can't do this own your own strength and will alone, but you need to seek Him...and all his glory and he will guide you and provide for you. Too many times when we're struggling, we try to do it ourselves or go to our friends or family...when we really should be going to God. It isn't till you're in your lowest point until you realize God is capable of anything and everything and you must have faith in him. I dunno...I just keep reading the comment she posted over and over...it really is inspiring...to know that God is ALWAYS there for me.
