I needed to water a tree that was turning brown with the dry weather this summer so I asked my granddaughter if she would like to help me. She initially showed reluctance until I assured her that the tractor would do all the heavy lifting.
Here she is in the photo filling water buckets in a wagon pulled by a lawn tractor. Once at the tree, she was delighted to use the little bucket to do the watering. She had me keep adding water to it from the big buckets.
It makes me think about how sometimes it seems hard to follow Jesus, but he makes things easy.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14
Let’s let God do the heavy lifting as we approach challenges in our lives.
