We are Not a DIY Project

Life is full of moments when we roll up our sleeves and tackle things on our own — kind of like a do-it-yourself project. I’ve had plenty of those projects that required the right number of nails, bolts, right sized boards, paint, etc. etc. Sometimes the project ended with giving me a sense of accomplishment. Other projects – maybe not so much!

But when it comes to our life in Christ, we realize this is not a do-it-yourself affair. We’re not left to navigate challenges, solve problems, or meet life’s twists and turns all by ourselves. The beauty of walking with God is that we never have to rely on our strength alone. He is our constant source of power, peace, and provision.

Think of it this way: God is the ultimate partner, always by our side, providing everything we need just when we need it. As we deepen our relationship with Him — spending time in prayer, soaking up His Word — something wonderful happens.

We begin to lean on His strength, not ours. Slowly but surely, we realize that He is our unfailing Provider, always ready to supply exactly what we lack.

Peace when the world is shaking? He’s got it. Wisdom when we’re stuck? It’s His specialty. Strength for the days when we feel like we can’t take another step? It’s all there, ready and waiting for us in Christ Jesus.

So, the next time life feels overwhelming, let’s remember that we don’t have to go it alone. God is with us every step of the way. And because of that, we’ve got access to everything we need to be victorious — joy, confidence, strength, and more. All we must do is reach out and tap into His endless supply.

We are equipped. We are empowered. And best of all? We are NEVER in this alone. Let’s just quote it again and again “In God We Trust”! That’s a promise that we can take to the bank!
