The Big Lie: "God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle"

People mean well when they say this to you, but the fact is - it's not true!  The scripture they use is   I Corinthians 10:30, "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation  has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently."  Amp


This scripture is talking about temptations, not burdens.  

II Corinthians 1:8 says, For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.


If we could bear our own burdens, we would not realize our need for Christ.  In fact, it is during those difficult times, that we come to know how much Christ loves us.
