When busyness has consumed us
again—and it may be the mental schedule that is full even if the actual
schedule is not—we are wise to pause.
Remember that the bottom line is not us. Though we certainly have a part in what unfolds, and choices
to make, He is the one who reigns.
“Your kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.” Psalm 145:13
Lay down the burden that is weighing
on you. But don’t just shed it in
some random place where it is so easy to hunt it back down to pick it up again if worry about it
stirs. When we lay it down, it is
by placing it into His hands, giving Him possession of our care. He may ask something of us in
responding to the need or concern, but the point is that we’ve acknowledged
that it is in His care and attention, that we see Him as having charge over
it. We become as one who is not
Director of it, but directed in it by the words of the Master Director.
See what good thing will be formed as you place the need into
His hands.
