Gandalf is one of the Maiar, they are only supposed to overlook and protect the people of middle earth. In this case, Gandalf is not supposed to meddle in their affairs, thus why Gandalf trusts the ring with Frodo and doesn't do it himself, the Maiar were sent by the Valar to assist Middle Earth against Sauron, not flat out defeat him.
