Grace started to get frustrated with life. She was overwhelmed with all the demands that were placed upon her. She ran a business, was a mother, wife, and ministry leader. There were days where she didn't know how she could get it all done and in those moments tears of anxiety and stress streamed from her face. How could she do it all?
Perhaps that was where Grace went wrong, as do many of us: we try to figure it out on our own. It wasn't for Grace to take on the weight of the world as she wasn't born, built, or equipped to do this. It was, however, for Grace to rely on the strength of God and realize that she could only do it through Him.
Philippians 4:13 reminds us that we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us. Jesus is our complete strength and He came for that very reason: to strengthen the weak. God knowing that we could not live this life without an example and a comforter to lead and guide us had to send Jesus to redeem us and recharge us. He knew that the weight of this world would just be too much for us to handle.
As a result let us not try to walk through life without Jesus, but rather let us lean on His everlasting arms as He wants so desperately to lift the burdens off our shoulders. Today trust God with your trials, problems, and circumstances and allow Him to work them out.
