Don't go it alone

"Not my might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts".   Zechariah 4:6

You need God! You can't go it alone. You're weak - God is strong.
Let Him work through you:
"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."  2 Corinthians 12:9
The way you know that you're truly anointed is when God takes the weaker vessel and performs supernatural feats. It's when we say to God, "Lord, I can't do this, but I know You can, please help me." You may think that you haven't a clue how God can use you to do anything but that's how He likes us to be. We are saying that we trust Him to help.

In Exodus 3:11, God called Moses to go and bring the Israelites out of Egypt. To go and see Pharaoh and tell him that he should let the people go. What a mammoth task and one in which any of us would find very daunting.
Moses asked God "Who am I?" Meaning, "what can I do?" Possibly he should have said, "Whose am I?" and possibly he may have realised the trust that God had in him to perform this task. However, with God, all things are possible. He's never caught out or has to stop and think what's the best thing to do.
Moses wriggled and thought of every excuse possible. I would have probably done the same. I mean, Moses would have to go back to the place where he had killed an Egyptian. He could face execution or a life in the dirtiest dungeon ever. God asked Moses, "What is that in your hand?" referring to Moses' rod or staff. When God commanded him to throw it on the ground, it turned into a snake. Exodus 4:2 - 3.
God was demonstrating to Moses that He would be in charge; He would go with Him and take care of every situation. Nothing is too difficult for God but we must include Him in all that we do, otherwise it can all go wrong. We need to give to Him all that we have and let Him use it and us to bring victory to the situation.

Are you struggling with something at this time. Has God asked you to do something that is so overwhelming that it is causing you sleepless nights. Or are you struggling with a decision to change jobs, move house or any other huge task. Don't carry this alone. It's too much for you. Yield it to God. In other words, approach the Throne of God and surrender it to Him. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. James 4:8. That's a promise!
