I was in Bible study class the other day and we were discussing letting go and letting God do his will when an interesting thought struck me. I remembered being in aerobic class sweating profusely. (Just bear with me.) It was toward the end of class and the instructor was leading us through bicep curls (lifting weights to strengthen your arms). The instructor explained that the muscle does not grow or get stronger when you lift the weight it is when you lower it. She went on to explain that when you lower the weight you need to concentrate and do it purposefully so you do not harm the muscle. WOW!! Once again God used something ordinary in my life to speak to me. He wants me to stop picking up my burdens thinking that my carrying them demonstrates my strength. He wants me to purposefully lay the weight of my burdens at His feet so I will grow and know that my true strength is in Him.
