Work less & see God work more -

Do you trust God enough to let Him do His part and you work less?
Steve Childers said, “Some of us need to show our faith in God not by working harder but by working less.”

As I said in yesterday’s blog, “God is not only able, but trustworthy to perform what He says He will do”.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”. If He says that rest is found in Him, then be sure you are “IN CHRIST”. Be sure you are a Christ follower, a Christian who is in love with God and who obeys Him because if you are in control, you can’t rest in Him. Jesus goes on to say in verse 29, “Take My yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and I will give you rest”.

Put yourself in a yoke with Jesus, share the same harness and with His strength the journey will be easy. It may not always be pleasant as sometime it may be rainy or rocky but joined in Christ in His power you can rest in Him. He is really the one providing the strength to accomplish or perform the work. He is the one that will decide where you go and who will make sure you get there if you harness yourself to Him.

Do you believe and trust God enough to quit working so hard in your own strength and give up control to Him? He is faithful and He is the one who saved you and who is in the process of sanctifying you and who will one day allow you to experience your glorification. That is, when you believed, you got His righteousness so you are right before God, He is training you and knocking off the rough edges now to make you useable here and also, He has already got a place for you in Heaven that He is going come get you and take you there when the time is right. “And so shall you ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

Trust in Him, rest in Him and join in with Him in being discipled and in making disciples. Do it in His strength and under His guidance and not your own and you will find that you are working less and seeing God work more through you. That is when the miracles can come because the results are in His hands!
