Each According to His Ability (Part 2)
God knows us intimately, so much so that the Bible says that the hairs on our head are numbered (Matthew 10:30).
So, when God gives "each according to [our] ability," why is it that we complain it's not enough?
Jeremiah 29:11 says that God "knows the plans [He] has for [us], plans to prosper [us] and not to harm [us], plans to give [us] a hope and a future." Yet somehow we don't trust Him.
Our lack of trust in God makes no sense. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says that God won't tempt you more than you can bear. So maybe God gives according to what He knows we can bear at the moment. We're asking for more, but God knows what we can handle.
So, be careful what you ask for. God knows what He's doing. He won't give us more than we can handle. He gives to us based on our ability.
God bless,
J.W.
