Am I The Creator of My Abundant Life?

We humans tend to overwork and push ourselves too hard for too long. Here’s the problem when we work without ceasing— we ignore our limitations. Yes, God created us with incredible capacities to imagine, to build, to solve problems, to nurture others, to fix, to invent, and to lead, but as humans, we have limits.

We can launch shuttles to the moon, but we cannot hang the moon or the stars. We can design batteries that last for days, but only God’s power is eternal. Of course, we cannot do everything!

Please hear this, you will not always achieve everything that you can imagine or dream about. And you can’t always excel in every way, in every season of life, even in the things that are your gifts or talents! There are simply circumstances, seasons, and people beyond your control.

When we ignore our limitations and just keep working, aren’t we playing the role of God? When we work without ceasing, isn’t this a sign that we are trying to control the outcome?

Ultimately, if I don’t stop to rest, then I am at risk of buying into the great lie that I am the Creator of my abundant life.
