As a very stubborn, prideful, self-focused person, I’ve tried to solve all my problems myself.
I can’t do it. This is more than an “it takes a village” issue. This is a recognition that the help I need is much more than a mortal can shoulder alone.
Much more than I or any group of people could do without heaven’s help.
So I’m trying to humble myself. Trying to take a little at a time. Moving forward, trusting and having faith.
Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Matthew 6:25-30
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Relative to others I have very little faith. I don’t rely on God for things. God says “It’s possible” and I say “Great. I’ll go do it.” Never stopping to ask how He wants it done.
Time to change that. Time to stop long enough to change my habits.
