Your Strength

Your Strength or....
A little boy is working in the rock garden with his Dad. His father tells him
that if he needs any help moving the rocks, he is right across the garden. Just
call him. The little boy does fine for a while, but then the rocks get too big.

But he wants to show his Dad how big he is, so he struggles and sweats and
strains and pants and puffs and doesn't get very far. His Dad looks up and sees
him continually struggling. "Son," his father says "You are not using all your
strength."

The little boy looks shocked but tries all the harder; with every ounce of
strength he has he tries to get that rock in to his wagon. Puff, pant, strain,
struggle, sweat, tears and hardly any progress. "Son, you are not using all your
strength!" The boy says, "Yes I am Daddy. I am using everything I have." The Dad
answers, "No son, you are not using me!"

We should not depend upon ourselves when we have problems but call on Jehovah to
help us with our burdens.
