What does God actually say?
God won’t give me more than
Why does God allow me to experience more than I can handle?
1. God is challenging
Numbers 11:18b–23 (NIV)
“Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat it. 19 You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, ten or twenty days, 20 but for a whole month—until it comes out of your nostrils and you loathe it …”
21 But Moses said, “Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’ 22 Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?”
23 The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.”
2. God has a purpose
3. God wants me to
Discussion questions for later or over lunch:
1. Describe a time when you went through something that was more than you can handle and what God did to help you?
2. What was at least part of God’s purpose for you going through what you went through?
3. What other examples from the Bible can you come up with where God gave people more than they could handle?
