Aren’t you tired? I know I was. You see, I took it upon myself to micro-manage my family. I took on responsibilities in extended family that were not my problem. Total strangers could depend on me to save them.
After much distress in body, soul and mind, God finally got through to me.
That each one of you should know how to possess (control, manage) his own body in consecration (purity, separated from things profane) and honor (1 Thessalonians 4:4, AMP)
The God could manage the others quite well without my help.
O Lord, You have pleaded the causes of my soul [You have managed my affairs and You have protected my person and my rights]; You have rescued and redeemed my life! (Lamentations 3:58, AMP)
I expect He doesn’t need yours either!
Prayer: Father God, forgive us for taking on what is not ours to do. In Christ. Amen.
