Day 201 - God can't do all of the work

I love a little something that was said at church recently. It was talking about finding our perfect mate, and how contrary to what many believe you should not just sit and wait for God to bring that person into your life. You have to do your own part and trust Him. You can't expect God to do all of the work.

I love that metaphor for anything in your life. For your job, your dreams, your journey, your desires, your responsibilities, and your goals. God cannot do everything; you must go out there and do whatever it is that you are waiting for. And while you are out there pray about it, talk to God, ask for His guidance, and search for the outcome.

Waiting for God to do everything on His own is just letting time pass you by. It's letting fears or failures take over your life. It's laziness. God needs you to help Him work within you. If you draw close to Him, you will know which way to go.
