There was this afternoon in Georgia when I wanted to change the headlight light bulbs in my truck to those new fangled super bright light bulbs. Long story short, it took me almost an hour and absolutely ruined my day! It was so amazingly frustrating!
A couple days later the Holy Spirit replayed that event in my mind then promptly reminded me of a verse:
No temptation has overtaken you that is not
common to man. God is faithful and he will not let
you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the
temptation he will also provide the way of escape,
that you may be able to endure it.
I was quite humbled when I realized the best I had to offer my God that day was changing a light bulb. How pathetic is that, right? Then the Holy Spirit chimed in again and said, "LaRue, God knew the best you had to offer that day was changing a light bulb, that's why He picked that day for you to change the light bulb."
Wow. How cool is that?
So, when you have a light bulb day (or if you have a day with a "real" challenge) remember that the challenge you are facing isn't catching God by surprise. Nope, his grace is sufficient for even that.
