Dependance

At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:25-30

You know there are times in my life, I need to be reminded of this. God doesn't expect us to carry it all on our own. He wants us to give it to Him. To use His strength for the load, not our own. This is when we, even in the midst of trials and trouble and busy lives, get to have rest. We are always hearing about people, and maybe you know some, who need a "rest" from there ministry. Just depend on Jesus to do the ministry and you be there to be used when needed. He will always hold you up. He will never depend on you to do His job and He expects that we will allow Him to do His job through us. So be encouraged today. You don't have to do it all... He is in charge... NOT you!
