Dear Young Christian:
How often we are faced with a problem which appears overwhelming! Nothing that we can do seems to make any difference. Mary was in such a situation as she anticipated the death of the Lord. She couldn’t do much but the Lord said, “She hath done what she could” (Mark 14:8). Yes, she did what she could: she anointed the Lord with her precious spikenard ointment.
The Lord will not ask you to do the impossible. Just do what you can and leave the results to Him. Remember too, that whatever He asks you to do He will always provide what is needed to do it. As you start another week, consider what things you can do for Him in spite of difficulties and problems. It may not be great things by the world’s standard, and like Mary, there may be criticism even from other believers; but never mind. If you have the Lord’s sanction and approval that is what really counts. And don’t forget, whatever you do, “do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
