I love this video.
http://waf-current.local/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/img_1767-2.movObviously, there’s the cuteness factor. I mean…seriously. Grant (the little guy) is convinced that he is actually pushing Caleb (the bigger guy) around. Grant even seems to be exerting himself..and ends it off with giving himself a round of applause.
All the while, it was Caleb who was really doing the work.
I watched the video and smiled….especially when I realized that’s what God does for me too.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to participate in the women’s conference at my church. When someone asked me if I was ready, I said, “As ready as I can be…”.
I knew I had prayed, prepared and practiced. I had done everything humanly possible to do. While a part of me was still freaking out (because that’s how I roll), I asked God to step in and do what only He could do.
Even when I was writing this post tonight, I sat in front of a blank screen for almost 2 hours because I wasn’t sure what I should share. Sometimes, the process involves waiting too.
We can do all the things…and we should. Get the empty jars for the oil and stones for our slingshot. We must speak to dry bones so they can live. We should position ourselves, pursue our promises…and yes, even push when needed.
We always need to do our part.
But the beautiful thing is that when we make a move, God does too.
“4 From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. 5 You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways…” Isaiah 64:4-5a (ESV)
Charles Stanley put it like this, “God takes full responsibility for the life wholly devoted to Him.”
I am thankful that whatever I do, I never do it alone.
