No Unreasonable Requests
HaShem requested of Moshe Rabenu, "Build Me a sanctuary." Moshe was mystified, "How can man, who is finite, build a house for HaShem, Who is infinite?" HaShem answered, "I do not ask of you to build me a house according to My strength, rather according to your strength."
Lesson: HaShem never makes unreasonable requests of man. He asks of us only to serve Him according to our capacity and no more.
