Put It On The Shoulders of God

In my career, I have an administrative assistant who handles all service aspects of the job. Recently I discovered that she had let multiple things fall apart. To say she let me down would not scratch the surface of how disappointed I am.

It’s very rare for me to get angry. But on this one I was seething. Taking care of my clients is job one. On Wednesday night I was struggling to fall asleep because of my anger. I told God that I was putting this on His shoulders because I needed help. Then I slept soundly.

On Thursday my manager walked into my office and told me she was shifting some administrative assistants around, and I was getting a new assistant. The young woman who was assigned to me is the strongest assistant in the office. I couldn’t stop smiling. In one day, yesterday, she remedied every outstanding problem my prior assistant neglected. These were not easy tasks, but she got them done. Perfectly.

Whatever problems you may be experiencing, put them on God’s shoulders. They are big, strong, and can handle anything we are going through. And I mean anything…
