Don’t ever forget that you cannot do what God has called you to do. You cannot parent that child, love that husband, care for that elderly parent, submit to that boss, teach that Sunday school class, or lead that small-group Bible study. God specializes in the impossible, so that when the victory is won and the task is complete, we cannot take any credit. Others know we didn’t do it, and we know we didn’t do it. We must always remember that we can only live the Christian life and serve God through the power of His Holy Spirit. As soon as we think we can handle it on our own, we become useless to Him. We have to be willing to get out of the way, let God take over, and let Him overshadow us.

A married man

A married man left work early one Friday afternoon. Instead of going
home, however, he squandered the weekend (and his paycheck) partying with
the boys.

When he finally returned home on Sunday night, he ran into a barrage of
epithets from his furious wife. After a couple of hours of nagging and
berating, the wife asked, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for
a couple of days!?!"

"That would suit me just fine!!", the husband answered.

Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday
came and went with the same result.

Come Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a little,
just out of the corner of his left eye!!!
