Apparently not, as there are plenty of people who have caved under pressure. Not unless, that is, you think that it was entirely their fault that a loved one died tragically, or that they were swindled out of their life's savings, or couldn't face up to any more surgeries, for example. Personally, I don't.I have heard this phrase shared with a person at a number of funerals. Is this saying true?
What makes the phrase true, in your opinion?Yes, it is true
Does a person's failure mean that God gave them too much to handle?Apparently not, as there are plenty of people who have caved under pressure.

I do believe that but I cant speak for everyone, especially non believers. Personally I consider it a form of strength in bad situations and overcoming fear of death or loss or anxiety and hopelessness etc, not exactly getting what you want but wanting what you get. For example if I were terminal I wouldn't expect to just overcome the illness but to count my blessings and hold strength in God to the end to overcome the situation of fear.I have heard this phrase shared with a person at a number of funerals.

...so...you believe that God doesn't give you more than you can handle? I'm having a hard time seeing if it was a yes or a no in how you responded.I do believe that but I cant speak for everyone, especially non believers.

I believe he won't give you more than you can handle... but as for unbelievers they usually curse God for having tribulation thus strength is not with them and situations seem impossible to get a grip on or "handle"... again I see this phrase as a promise of strength and courage to endure tribulation by way of the Lord....so...you believe that God doesn't give you more than you can handle?

Thanks for the clarification.I believe he won't give you more than you can handle... but as for unbelievers they usually curse God for having tribulation thus strength is not with them and situations seem impossible to get a grip on or "handle"... again I see this phrase as a promise of strength and courage to endure tribulation by way of the Lord.

Well he explained it better than me I guess lolHere's the blog post that sparked my question. I tend to agree with the author.

The fact that if we are Gods then He will always be there for us and will hellp us through any trials that we are going through the key is to stay as close to Him as possible for those wgo dont then yes you can be overwhelmed. I think Job is a pefect exampleWhat makes the phrase true, in your opinion?
Do you think Job could handle his circumstances?The fact that if we are Gods then He will always be there for us and will hellp us through any trials that we are going through the key is to stay as close to Him as possible for those wgo dont then yes you can be overwhelmed. I think Job is a pefect example
Does a person's failure mean that God gave them too much to handle?
So it wasn't Job's strength and Job couldn't handle it without God handling it for him?He did, he knew where his strength came from, he remained true to God
Obviously Peter himself was crucified later after his ministries and Jesus himself redeemed him and asked him three times if he loved him which Peter answered yes three times. Peter was only afraid of death and thus he lied three times to save himself (which Christ prophesied to Peter), however he did pull through in the end. Judas turned away and succumbed to satans temptation freely... he resigned from ministry, betrayed his king, and hung himself in misery... deny Christ deny the Father and so without God, he could not handle it and the devil and thief in him killed him.So it wasn't Job's strength and Job couldn't handle it without God handling it for him?
Peter did not remain true to God at the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Did Peter's failure mean Peter could handle it, but failed or did it mean God gave Peter more than he could handle?
By whose power did Peter pull through? By Peter's power or by God's power.Obviously Peter himself was crucified later after his ministries and Jesus himself redeemed him and asked him three times if he loved him which Peter answered yes three times.

Right God gives us strength, those two phrases are both speaking of strength from God to manBy whose power did Peter pull through? By Peter's power or by God's power.
