God Never Gives Us Burdens Greater Than We Are Able To Bear
God is a loving & merciful God. He knows your frame; He remembers that you're but dust & He knows how much you can stand. (Psa.103:8-14) Even of our service for Him, Jesus said, "My yoke is easy, & My burden is light! Come unto Me, & I will give you rest!" (Mat.11:28-30)
So if the yoke gets too hard & the burden too heavy, it's not His yoke nor His burden, but our own or someone else's which we've unwisely undertaken or permitted to be placed upon us beyond the Lord's knowledge of our strength & abilities!--Or maybe you're trying to carry too much & pull too hard, instead of letting God do it through you by His power, His Love, His grace & His strength!
The Devil tries to come along & tempt you to quit, "Oh, that's too hard, that's too much, that's too heavy!"--But Jesus said it is not!
The Lord's yoke is not too hard & His burden is not too heavy. So if you take it from the Lord & do His Will it's not going to be too hard or too heavy. He Himself will never suffer us to be tempted above that which we are able! He's promised to always give us some way of escape!

Hi...I'm stopping over by way of Tom's blog at Northern Farmer. Your post is a personal confirmation for me as my daily devotion by Elisabeth Elliot that I receive by email spoke on a similar theme. Our family has had a few trials recently - mainly health and finances. We look to see the Lord's grace in all and come to Him with thanksgiving asking how we may grow and profit from our experiences. He has allowed the burdens for reasons of His own design and will equip us if we seek Him. Thank you for sharing this! God bless you!
