Just Do It - Anyway

I admit it - I'm overwhelmed and outmatched. When I consider the varied dimensions of the life that God has called me to, I often feel like . . . .well. . taking a nap. I know you've got to feel the same way. Whatever your season of life and whatever details it entails, I bet you've found yourself feeling like you're swimming in waters that are way over your head.

That's why I was captivated by 2 Chronicles 2:6: Solomon considered the task set before him and said,
 

But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I, that I should build a house for Him. . .

Seems like I'm not the only one feeling overwhelmed and outmatched.

Solomon had an entire nation to rule and a temple to construct - the likes of which had never been seen before. There was no blueprint to follow and no previous architects or contractors to consult. He was leading a massive project for which there was no precedent, and he was well aware of his inability to build something that would actually complete its mission - housing God.

And yet - Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David. . .  - 2 Chronicles 3:1

That's right. . . he did it anyway. He consecrated himself and his work to the Lord, and dove headlong into the divine mission to which He'd been assigned - believing that God would take up the slack. That's a WORD for me today and I hope it is for you, too.

Overwhelmed? Outmatched?
Just do it anyway.
