Prodigal: Look at all I am doing!

Me: Yes, you are doing a lot, what does God think of all your doing?

This is from the book Have a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver

I realized then that, while there are many thing that need to be done, things I’m capable of doing and want to do, I am not always the one to do them. Even if I have a burden for a certain need or project, my interest or concern is not a surefire sign that I need to be in charge. God may be calling me to pray that the right person will rise up to accomplish it. What’s more, I may be stealing someone else’s blessing when I assume I must do it all.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Proverbs 16:3

Jennifer Van Allen
