Poet, I agree with you. I've counseled others with the same observation, and I found it to be true in my own situation. If you take as a truth God's word in I Cor. 10:13 (and I do), and if you take as a given that different human beings have different capacities to handle things all at once (and I think that's safe to say), and if you figure that there are some very small things we encounter to handle and then there are some really MONSTROUS OBSTACLES . . .
then it only stands to reason that God will only enable to you to handle things a bit at a time, no??
My prayer to God when I was going thru my wife's affair two years ago was for Him to allow me to see what I NEEDED to see, in order to have the boldness to do what needed to be done . . . BUT NOTHING MORE, lest I wouldn't be able to bear it.
