THE MERCY OF GOD
Read Luke 22:39-43
I Corinthians 10:13, KJV
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
It is the mercy of God that measures to us what we can each carry. Even in gifting, He gives to us according to our abilities. Do you know gift can kill? The commitment of God if given at a high level that is not pedaled can wear any out and consequently be to his detriment. That's why it's better to grow in your office, grace or anointing because by reason of time, you'll learn how to put it under. But if 80% out of the 100% of oil you'll one day carry should fall on you like that, if pride do not kill you or other perils of the anointed, the demands of the anointing itself will send you home by either wearing out your mortal body or drawing you to minister until it tells on your health. That's one of the reasons God rather allocates to us in measures or droplets. It's God's wisdom but more importantly, that instance shows His mercy. If you have a child that you don't want to send to his early grave, will you not measure to him tasks that you believe he should be able to discharge according to his capability or age? Do you task him and make demands on him like you would do for yourself?
When you're tempted, God is there watching. He does one thing. He will never, never and never allow you to be tempted until you're overwhelmed or say, 'enough is enough' and then proceed into prostitution, robbery or even commit suicide. There's a thing that God always do that interests me. He'll dig a hole. He'll create a space of mercy. He'll make a demand for that thing not to be overstretched so that you won't fall under that weight and get crushed. Many of us have experienced situations that almost broke us before. While we were at the bank or edge of being broken where you could hear groaning and sweat as thick as blood rolling down from us, God orders that situation to a halt. Then, it stops and like a man who's been under torture or training in a military camp, we rise in gratitude from that experience. Meanwhile, we have gathered strength for another day. That space of relieve doesn't mean a stop forever. More will still come. That's why we're assured of redemption. If we were pressed yesterday but survived, tomorrow won't be an exemption. That's why that place says God is faithful. You can always count on His appearance for salvation or deliverance even when it seems you'll be broken and totally shattered now. David while giving assurance to Saul said, "the God that delivered me out of the paws of the lion and the bear will deliver me out of this uncircumcised Philistines [I Samuel 17:37]." That's God's faithfulness he was referencing. He knows that enough that God is faithful and would provide a way of escape.
Look, in all, God is indeed faithful. He will create a way of escape for you from that situation. Let patience have its time. Afterwards, you'll raise gratitude to Him. As I'm observing, what you're currently passing through can't kill you. You'll be kept and preserved. Why? The Lord still has need of you. Whatsoever the Lord has need of, it is such He preserves from being violated even though stretched. That's how He preserved that colt for Jesus use. It was a brand new colt that no one has never ridden on. Why? Because one day, it will serve purpose. Look, receive escape and your relieve now.
PRAYER: God of escape, my life is in your hands for escape. Repeat Your being faithful at my temptation and nearing breaking point.
