Where Can I Find This Passage?

[YinYangMom]

Daughter is seeking the scripture passage which talks about how God won’t give us more than we can handle.

I’ve gone through BiblePassages.com to search there and have come up empty.

I searched this board and came across several threads discussing the phrase but no one ever cites the passage in scripture from which it originated.

Can you help?

Thanks!

1 Cor 10:13
3 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."

Praise be to God for our ‘way out’ who is Jesus!

I thought that might be it but it addresses temptation/sin rather than burdens, as in when we’re overwhelmed with worry/stress.

I take it the phrase being applied to troubles/worries/stresses is something we’ve come up with over the years based on this passage and some others?

Thanks so much, though, for getting me this close to the answer!!

I don’t know if this helps, but maybe it’s close to what you are looking for.

Luk 12:22 And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you: Be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on.
Luk 12:23 The life is more than the meat: and the body is more than the raiment.
Luk 12:24 Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they?
Luk 12:25 And which of you by taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Luk 12:26 If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?
Luk 12:27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
Luk 12:28 Now, if God clothe in this manner the grass that is to-day in the field and to-morrow is cast into the oven: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
Luk 12:29 And seek not what you shall eat or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
Luk 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
Luk 12:31 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice: and all these things shall be added unto you.

1 Cor 10:13

1 Corinthians 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.

[But such as is common to man] Anthroopinos (NT:442). Chrysostom has properly translated this word anthroopinos as: toutesti mikros, brachus, summetros; that is, small, short, moderate, Your temptations or trials have been but trifling in comparison of those endured by the Israelites; they might have been easily resisted and overcome. Besides, God will not suffer you to be tried above the strength he gives you; but as the trial comes, he will provide you with sufficient strength to resist it; as the trial comes in, he will make your way out. The words are very remarkable, poieesei (NT:4160) sun (NT:4862) too (NT:3588) peirasmoo (NT:3986) kai (NT:2532) teen (NT:3588) ekbasin (NT:1545), He will, with the temptation, make the deliverance, or way out." Satan is never permitted to block up our way, without the providence of God making a way through the wall. God ever makes a breach in his otherwise impregnable fortification. Should an upright soul get into difficulties and straits, he may rest assured that there is a way out, as there was a way in; and that the trial shall never be above the strength that God shall give him to bear it.

[Zenas]

Matthew 6:25-34:
25"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

27"And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

28"And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

30"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

31"Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’

32"For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
