I think that phrase is a twisting of this ...Steph, <br />I think that phrase is a twisting of this verse. "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." ~ 1 Co. 10:13<br /><br />And I agree with you 100%, God doesn't get glory if we can handle it without him. I think the phrase likely started with an ending like "more than you can handle with His help." And we just have so easily dropped the most important part. He provides a way for us to endure it, not escape it entirely, but endure it.<br /><br />I am thankful for you and your writing, as I see you reflect our God. Especially in the times when it isn't expected, especially not by the world's standards. I am thankful that God repeatedly in the Bible chooses flawed people and their weaknesses to bring Himself glory, because that means there is still hope for me too. Thanks again for sharing.BFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152278322252230502noreply@blogger.com
