A lot of people live
their lives just totally trusting in God.
Now don't get me wrong, I think that is a good thing. But even a good thing can be taken too far. I think we need to take as much
responsibility for ourselves as we can, and then leave the rest up to God. In my opinion too many people abdicate their
own responsibilities when they leave it "all" up to God.
Here is just one
Scripture to back up this point of view.
Mark 3:9(NKJV)
9So He told His disciples that a small boat
should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him.
Here is my
point. We know that God isn't going to
let anything happen to Jesus until the appointed time, right? Jesus knows that as well, or at least He is
probably pretty sure of it. And yet as
Jesus looked around He could see that He was in a situation that could turn or
get out of control quickly. So what did
he do?
Did He just figure
God would take care of it? No. Jesus made contingency plans. I think we can take this as an example to
follow. God's got better things to do
than take care of every little thing for us.
Let's do more of what we can for ourselves so that God has more time to
focus on others who really need Him. We
can rest assured that He will be there for us when we really need him as
well!
