Choices
Proverbs takes me to the crossroads everyday. I can choose one way or another. Sometimes my journey comes to a fork in the road. I am at wits end often. I have mounting things to do. I am unsetttled as to which course to take. So what do I do?

I worry. I fret. I seek escape. I procrastinate.

Yet I forget that I have a great God who wants me to share my burden. He tells me,

"Cast all your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you (I Peter 5:7)."

God is there waiting for me. I can picture in my mind an older man waiting in the bend on the road with a wheelbarrow. I am carrying a heavy sack of stuff; worries, fears, challenges. Yet I often walk right by. He can carry my load--some or all of it. I just need to stop and ask Him to carry it. So what do you do?

Do you worry? Say it's all right, "I'm okay." "I'm good." "I can handle it. "

Don't forget that God is waiting to help carry your load. It doesn't matter what it is. He's there to carry it. For me its tasks--lots of things to do. Yet want to be wise not foolish. In Chapter Nine of Proverbs the contrast is between a simple person deciding who he or she will follow. Will you follow Wisdom? Will you follow Folly? What are the burdens you carry? Make a comment or share your struggles. Share anonymously, cryptically, or unfettered. I wonder what burdens you carry and need God to carry for you.
