Things May be Tough Right Now, but God is Faithful!

God is faithful and will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. But He won’t take away the temptation before we have an opportunity to resist it. We are always in the training room of faith designed by God to help us mature in the things of God, and life in general. Jesus prayed that we would live above the evil in this world (John 17:15). Through faith and patience we obtain the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12), so to receive any help from outside of His mercy, we need strong faith for victorious living. It has been said in church circles, God won’t let anything of an overly challenging nature come to us before He checks the severity of it. Each of us have different levels of pain we can handle, different levels of manageable disappointments, drama tolerance, and offenses that won’t cut too deep for each of us. It may feel like we can’t go through a situation because our minds are screaming NO WAY! But God is faithful and as we lean not to our own understanding and trust the scriptures for our situations, that’s called working the word of God (Don’t wait on His Mercy, go on the offensive using God’s word). And through confession and real heart belief of the scriptures, we stand our ground until we have victory over our problems. During your trial for faith improvement, God always makes a way with the temptation for us to endure it, and continue right through it.
