The Hand-off

 

[Graphic of a sign]


“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and
lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.”
—Proverbs 3:5-6

What do you do when you’ve done all you can do and there’s just no more that you can do?

King Solomon offers this answer from Proverbs 3:5-10:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

Now that sounds like excellent advice to me! And, it clearly gives direction as to what we must do when we’ve done everything we can possibly do on our own.
