Uni-verse 238/10,000 For better through verse
1Co 10:13 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.
Just as water has its boiling point, metals have a melting point, each one of us has a suffering point. The suffering might come not just in the form of a trial, trouble or persecution but also in the form of a temptation. The Lord knows what our suffering point is. Though suffering is part of the common heritage of mankind regardless of who we are, He never lets us suffer beyond our capacity to bear or beyond our endurance ability. Before we reach that point, He will provide a way of escape.
When we suffer instead of murmuring against God, we must lean heavily on the Lord and ask him, “ Lord, show me the way out of this situation. Show me your healing power or Show me your deliverance. Show me the way out though I see none on my own.” Don’t just grin and bear it but pray, praise and bear it. Expect a great deliverance released by the hand of the Lord.
The Lord promises to be faithful and to deliver us or to heal us or to show us the way out of the suffering. The suffering is allowed to build patience,hope, faith, character and testimony in our lives. The rainbow is a symbol of deliverance- the red stands for being washed and saved by the blood of Christ. The other colours are the symbols of victory in different domains of our lives: spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, relational, financial.
