"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Up in the Air

Here's another spiritual lesson I picked up from camp! :)

My counselor had several balls he would juggle when we had some downtime in the cabin. Very soon one of my cabin mates, Kevin, picked the sport up. Just about any time we were in the cabin not doing anything in particular, Kevin would be juggling. It was actually quite fun to watch.


The spiritual application? God is like my cabin mate keeping all of the balls in the air. We may feel that our life is like a ball being juggled, going through numerous ups and downs. But through it all, God is there. He is watching over us, and he always catches us. He sustains us.


Psalms 54:4, NIV:


"Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me."


Trust God with your life. Whatever you may be going through right now, He is there to catch you. He will never let you down!
