In the way? We’re always trying to “help” God get the work done. And, often, we’re only marginally effective at doing it. We get anxious when we see the work that needs to be done and try to do it ourselves. This is God’s job, not ours. His skills in providing for us are perfect.
Think about it. Our “concern” ought to be in simply accomplishing the tasks He has assigned us to do. Work, whether in the home or not, is moving sand from one pile to the other. It builds character and skills that help us develop fully in this life.
God’s Word tells us: “I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 7: 32).
When we try to fix things God has already perfected, we only get in the way of the divine plan set forth by our Heavenly Father for our own care and security. Don’t get in God’s way with your anxiety over whether or not He will provide for your every need today and tomorrow. He has promised to do so. Pick up your shovel and do the work He has assigned you to do. Getting in the way only complicates things.
“I pray today in Jesus name that when we get in God’s way with our anxiety over His provision for us, we need to pick up our shovel and do the work He’s given us. Getting in the way only complicates things.” Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
