You Can Handle What You're In

Jan 28, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 12:9-10


Devotional: God's promise is clear: He will never allow you to face what you cannot handle. This doesn't mean life won't be hard—it means you're equipped for everything you're currently facing. When Paul pleaded for his thorn to be removed, God responded with sufficiency, not removal. His grace is enough. The word "sufficient" means adequate for the need—perfectly measured for your situation. You may feel overwhelmed, but God sees capacity you don't recognize. Every trial comes with an escape route—not necessarily out of the situation, but through it with courage and divine strength.


Stop believing the lie that you're inadequate. God wouldn't allow you here if you couldn't handle it. His power is perfected in your weakness. Today, declare: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." You're not surviving—you're overcoming.
