Throw in the towel. Wave the white flag. Quit. Surrender. None of these sound very positive. But in God’s economy, these are rich. Take it from someone who tries and tries and tries. It will never be enough. The best advice ever given me when I was working came during my evaluation. My news director looked right at me and said, Sandy, you were doing many things. I thought, “This is going to go great”. Then he added, but you aren’t doing anything well. Ouch! What started out sounding good didn’t end well. In the long run, it did. I had to learn to focus on my tasks, not everything around me. This is what God is telling us in this verse. Stop trying. I am God, and I can do everything, not you. We are strong when we turn to him and realize our weakness (2 Corinthians 12: 9-11). Know that he is more than able(Ephesians 3: 20). There is nothing he cannot do. The Bible tells us apart from him, we can do no good thing(John 15:5). Know that He is God. Give it up to Him.
IT'S A HARnDen LIFE...
