Matthew 15:30
Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.
Today’s verse from Matthew comes from a Max Lucado bible study I am doing with a group of women. In combination with the verse from Max’s devotion yesterday, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,” (Matthew 11:28) a thought dawned on me. I tend to take on too much, thinking I should handle it all.
I was raised to be self sufficient. I was expected to work hard and not rely on anyone. Now, this in itself is not a bad thing. However, I have a God I can always rely on for everything and need to learn how. I feel the need to point out that my parents did teach me that as well. Somewhere though I lost that thought. I felt it was my responsibility to keeping everyone happy all of the time. Boy, is that a big mistake. You see, I am not God and neither are you.
We don’t have to take on the world. We just need to do our part and let God handle the rest. No request is too small or too big for our God. Just go to Him with everything. He is waiting to help.
Lord, I am sorry I try to take on the world without You. I am learning my place and will turn to you. ~amen
