If you can not handle what you have can you handle bigger?

Why ask you this?
Sometime in July there was a children dedication service in the church i do fellowship. Everything went on well as planned but out of the norm of other children dedication services in our church. A couple of ladies actually three walked into the church late cuddling the packages(Children) for the Lord to bless. I remember vividly they were all less than 5 6" tall. The bishop was about to preach at this very moment then his amour bearer gave him a note stating that there were some people who came late and were requesting for their children to be dedicated. He humbly called them up for some few minutes. he then asked whom he could start with then he was told they were all triplets. He told the church and there was great jubilation as it seemed in the real sense. Then as they were about to dedicate them another short person walked towards the pulpit now this was a man. Alas this was the father of this beautiful children. Looking at him for someone who never new about him you could say, he had just adopted them or even worse found them dumped in his compound, which he never had or thought of having at this very moment ,but without a shadow of a doubt he was the biological father and DAD*. The dedication went well and the preaching was done. Few Sundays later bishop spoke about the idea he gave himself of taking shopping to the family with the triplets but God told him something which give me the topic of this post. God said to him that i gave them those children and i am going to feed them no matter what it takes.
Most of the times we get shocked by what God bestows to us and we chicken out and run away from it thinking we can not handle it but God say hold on i know the plans i have for you(Jeremiah29:11-12). The little i know about the father of the triplets is that he is a taxi driver in our town. *The little i know about my dad/father is that he lives in Gatundu a far off town. The triplets father would have run away like my father but he held on to his calling of being a sole father to triplets. I know mothers would agree with me that a womb can not handle two babies if they are not breed by one father. I looked at how the church was jubilant of the triplets but in their midst i know and believe there people who thought that these small people will die of raising or learing (direct translation of bringing up) the triplets. I know God did it deliberately (for lack of a better word ) so that it may shape the future of the parents and those whom think their only children (one) are a burden.
You may have wondered or be in deep thought wondering why God is doing what he is doing to you and not you friend or neighbor but i came to assure this beautiful day that he wants to know if you can really bear it and how you will do it. So my Dear one hold on there better things are yet to come.
So just keep on with what you have at this very moment because bigger trials and tribulations are coming your way and even maybe take care of the good things you have coz better things are yet to come.
 Blessings are upon you as you push on this day and the days to come.
