“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Mat.11.28 ESV
I think most of us know that there is no concern too great for God. But, we manage to convince ourselves that many of the things that weigh us down are just too small to bring to Him. Or is that really the problem? We are glad to trust Jesus with the big stuff and by that I mean things over which we have no control anyway. It’s the small everyday concerns that we feel we must handle, simply because we believe that we can. If we are honest with ourselves it is not so much the measure of God’s concern over these small matters as it is the measure of our control over them. It is hard to relinquish control. Lets face it, anything we regard as a great concern is of little consequence to the Almighty. By comparison it’s all puny to Him. But we are not! If the life of Jesus tells us anything, it tells us that. The real issue then, is not whether He is concerned about the matter but am I willing to let go and trust Him with it. Deep down we all know what we must do to find the rest He would give to us. 10/22/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
