So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Hebrews 10:35 NLT

Have you ever tried to untangle Christmas lights? You can sit for hours trying to untangle the mess and someone else comes in, picks up one piece and pulls and the whole thing straightens out. It’s almost maddening, isn’t it? You just want to say, “Where were you 2 hours ago?”

Stress and strain can do us in, but another’s perspective can change everything. You may be staring at a pile of bills that you don’t know how you’re going to pay. Perhaps a doctors report that looks hopeless or a pink slip that says your job ends on Friday. Whatever you’re facing, God wants you to step away into His arms and see it through His eyes.

How much time do we waste trying to figure out things we weren’t meant to? God wants to do life with us. He wants us to rest in HIS ability, not our own. I wonder how much further we’d be if we’d learn that simple act of rest and communion?

Our old pastor used to say that a sign of a good leader is those who delegate. We don’t even know how to delegate our concerns to God. It reminds me of carrying groceries in from the car. No two trips for me! I try to carry WAY too much at once and in my effort to succeed, I usually end up hurting myself. How silly is that?

God is standing next to us with outstretched arms waiting to carry our load. Let’s not insist on carrying it anymore. Turn to Him, place it all in His hands and say this, “I will rest in You until you tell me what to do with it. I will not come out of this place of rest.” Just let the weight shift from you to Him.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 NLT

Let Him Care For You,
