Did God Say…?

The more complex life becomes, the easier it is for us to lose our perspective.

Maybe we begin to feel that we weren’t supposed to be the caregiver after all. There must be someone else who can do a better job, who can handle all the stuff that comes up, who can do it more graciously than we can. Did God really say we should do this?

This is the time faith really comes into play. God has given us the task—and we must believe that not only has He asked us to do this job, He’s also given us an abundance of mental, emotional, and physical supplies. And not just once, but over and over every morning.

Rarely can we see our way clear, but we can believe that God has the situation under His perfect control. We can believe that He will work it for His glory and for the good of ourselves and those around us.

As we learn to become more and more dependent on God, we trust Him more and more. Our faith, though it may have begun as the size of a mustard seed, will grow into a mighty tree.
