Let yourself be off duty for a few minutes. Most of what we expect of ourselves is tragically false responsibility anyway.
I had some surgery recently. Wouldn’t it have been ridiculous of me to make suggestions to the surgeon as he worked? Or worse, try to operate on myself? (Although I did see that in a movie once, where a doctor operated on himself to remove a bullet. It was truly gruesome!)
No. All I did was fall asleep in the operating room. The capable physician did all the rest. My part was consent and surrender. In other words, “Yes, and Amen.”
So, if you can, take a little break today. Sit quietly, and offer the Great Physician your “yes and amen.” Rest, my dear. Let go of your terribly busy life for a few moments and just be His.
