Gospel Reflections #835: God's Hands-on Support

Deuteronomy 1:17 "If a case is too difficult for you to handle, bring it to me, and I will listen."

These words were spoken as Moses organized the Israelites to make them easier to lead.

Moses did not simply delegate everything to the leaders of each section and leave them to bear the responsibility alone. Instead, he supported them, promising to get involved when things became too much for them to handle.

Our God also constantly supports us.

He patiently watches over us until we reach our limits, and when we seek His help, He responds swiftly.

However, God does not want us to struggle alone until we are overwhelmed. He desires us to rely on Him even when things seem manageable, and to move forward together with Him.

Our God guides us not to use Him as a last resort, but to experience His presence by entrusting everything to Him, confident that we are in His hands.

Once we experience this, we become happier about God being with us than about the problem being solved.
