Yesterday, when I was getting ready to
play racquetball, I found that the jar of racquetballs had collapsed
and twisted because of the heat, which had built-up in my car the day
before. I suspected such a thing might happen, but I did not take
action to circumvent the problem.
Here is the important spiritual
application of this unimportant event. When we neglect to prepare for
likely contingencies, we plan to suffer the consequences. As a
result, sometimes the possible problems of yesterday become the
actual problems of today.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall.
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.
Though there is an abundant supply of trouble and trial in this life, there is no limit to God's ability to overcome evil.
Romans 5:20-21
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.

Romans 5:20-21
20 Moreover the law entered, that the
offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more
abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
