Another Monday is here …another week, another month – with needs to be met and demands to fulfill. How can a woman do it all and not end up in the crazy house in the process? It can only happen when we realize that we cannot do it all, but the Lord can. We are so limited in what we can do and God is so boundless! We can’t do anything without His enablement. Consider:
A Woman can:
feed a hungry family
administer medicine
teach a child
love her husband
discipline a child
teach a Bible lesson
exercise her body
quiet a restless child
clean a dirty house
put a child to bed
sing a song
But only God can:
bring nourishment to their body
bring healing
impart wisdom
unite their hearts
break their will
convict of sin
give strength
give peace
clean a sinful heart
make them sleep
give a song
I find that the best place to acknowledge my need for God and His authority in my life is on my knees each morning. I give Him the demands on my day and my burdens. It is only then that I am able to see the second column – the things only God can do begin to take place.
What has He done for you today? I’d love to hear about it!
Today I was reminded that when I doubt God’s power in my life, I am like the Israelite spies who, after surveying Canaan shrivled in fear. God responded to their lack of trust saying, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?” I am reminded by God today that I should trust Him–even when the circumstances around me make me appear like a grasshopper. He is greater still!
