Why is it wrong? Because the Bible never&nbsp;says&nbsp;this! There is&nbsp;<em>no<\/em>&nbsp;verse in the Bible that says this! Go ahead, try to&nbsp;prove me wrong!&nbsp;People&nbsp;who are going&nbsp;through hard and difficult times try to make sense of what they are going&nbsp;through by saying,&nbsp;\u201cWell,&nbsp;as the Bible says\u2026!\u201d&nbsp;Or&nbsp;people use this&nbsp;to comfort&nbsp;them, \u201cThe Lord won\u2019t give you more than you can handle!\u201d&nbsp;which&nbsp;usually only&nbsp;angers the person and makes things worse! Why does it make things worse?&nbsp;It\u2019s simple! It\u2019s just not true! This verse doesn\u2019t exist and is therefore a&nbsp;total misquote and lie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Revelations 12:10&nbsp;refers to&nbsp;Satan&nbsp;as&nbsp;the accuser of&nbsp;the believers, accusing them day and night. He is an accuser who loves to accuse God as well,&nbsp;to get people to think it is God bringing death, destruction,&nbsp;sickness, pain, suffering, and torment on them. Satan wants you to believe&nbsp;that God wants to see just how much you can handle on your own! Satan&nbsp;loves&nbsp;for&nbsp;you to think you did something to cause this. And Satan loves for you&nbsp;to think that God doesn\u2019t care and He won\u2019t help you out of your crisis.&nbsp;The problem I have with this lie is that it keeps so many believers in&nbsp;bondage,&nbsp;feeling like failures&nbsp;and mad at God for putting them in this&nbsp;position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&nbsp;1 Corinthians 10:13&nbsp;(Complete Jewish Bible) actually reads, \u201c<em>No temptation has seized you beyond what people normally<\/em><em><\/em><em>experience, and God can be trusted not to allow you to be tempted beyond<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>what you can bear. On the contrary, along with the temptation he will also<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>provide the way out, so that you will be able to endure.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em>It says God will&nbsp;not allow Satan to bring temptation or enticement to sin into our life that is&nbsp;too much for us to say no to. When we are tempted to sin, God will make&nbsp;a way for us to resist it. The Lord was talking about temptation,not the&nbsp;hardships of life! Jesus came to set us free, not to place hardships upon us!&nbsp;In&nbsp;Matthew 23:1-4,&nbsp;Jesus accused the religious leaders of doing this and condemned them for&nbsp;it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead,&nbsp;Jesus says&nbsp;in&nbsp;Matthew 11:28-30&nbsp;(The Message&nbsp;Bible),&nbsp;<em>\u201cAre you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>with me and you\u2019ll recover your life. I\u2019ll show you how to take a real rest.<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>Walk with me and work with me\u2014watch how I do it<\/em><em>\u2026<\/em><em>I won\u2019t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>company with me and you\u2019ll learn to live freely and lightly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&nbsp;myself&nbsp;have found comfort&nbsp;during&nbsp;hard times&nbsp;in&nbsp;Psalm 23:1-4,\u201c<em>The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>He restores my soul;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name\u2019s sake. Yea,<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>though I walk through the&nbsp;<\/em><em>valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><em>For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.<\/em><em>\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>Jesus referred to Himself as the Shepherd and we are His sheep. The&nbsp;purpose of the shepherd was to protect the sheep when they got into trouble&nbsp;or when an enemy tried to attack them. The sheep would&nbsp;\u201cbaa\u201dloudly,&nbsp;calling the attention of the shepherd,&nbsp;and he&nbsp;would&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;come to their rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Psalm 46:1, The Passion Translation:\u00a0\u201c<em>God, you\u2019re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge!<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>You\u2019re a proven help in time of trouble\u2014more than enough and always<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>available whenever I need you<\/em><em>.<\/em><em>&#8220;<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>So whenever life gets too hard, don\u2019t run\u00a0<em>away<\/em>\u00a0from the Lord\u2014run\u00a0<em>to<\/em>\u00a0Him.\u00a0The Lord will pick you up and place you in His lap,\u00a0hold you tightly and\u00a0help you get through it!
