A man was ironing his shirt when the shirt spoke up:
Shirt: Sir, why are you trying to burn me up?
Man: No, I’m only removing the wrinkles from you
Shirt: But the heat is too much, it will soon burn me
Man: That’s not possible
Shirt: Why are you so sure?
Man: Because before I began, I looked at your label and noticed the right heat for you. I do not intend to exceed that temperature

1 Corinthians 10:13 – No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. (The Message Translation)
Peeps, promotion in every area of life usually comes after examination. God follows the same principle. The first thing that happened to Jesus Christ after God proclaimed Him as His Son was temptation (examination) by the devil!
Let’s rest in this assurance: Your maker knows you more than you know yourself and will NEVER allow anything that is stronger than you to destroy you.

ReplyDeletePraise God. We will not be exposed to a temperature that is higher than what our labels indicate we must not exceed.
