God’s Tests Are Never Unreasonable
4:66 Had we decreed for them: “You must offer your lives,” or “Give up your homes,” they would not have done it, except for a few of them. (Even if such a command was issued,) had they done what they were commanded to do, it would have been better for them, and would prove the strength of their faith.
4:67 And we would have granted them a great recompense.
4:68 And we would have guided them in the right path.
“You are given this life, because you are strong enough to live it”
God tests us according to our means and knows exactly how much we can handle. God made each one of us specifically for the life that we are to lead and the obstacles that we are going to face. To doubt ourselves is to doubt the God who created us.
