Helpless But Not Hopeless

By Jeremy Burkes
1 Corinthians 10:12-13Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (13) 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.
When we are on our own we can do nothing. If we try to handle our own sins we fall flat on our face. We as Christians tend to turn the small stuff over to God and hang on to the big stuff ourselves. What we need to realize is there is no big stuff. Nothing is too big for God. It is all small stuff to Him.
We all want a mountain top experience but Satan is waiting halfway up the mountain. Satan knows our weaknesses and he uses them against us. When Satan attacks we need to know that God will give us victory.
We never go through our troubles alone. God is with us every step of the way. God is not along as our passenger but as our pilot. He is in charge and He can carry us through the troubles along the way. When you feel the presence of God in times of trouble and know He is with you it gives you strength.
He is with us during trials just as he was with Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace.
On our own we are helpless but we are not Hopeless. We always have hope in God.
