00:00:06 --> 00:00:10 Hello,

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50 and or review on whatever platform you use to tune in.

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 With a title like this one,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 you know it's going to be a wild ride,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 but bear with me and you'll see where I'm going.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 You know I'm a meme queen,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 and there's one that's making the rounds saying,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05 choose your hard.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11 It compares two things that are hard, one positive and one negative.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 The positive one means it's hard because you have to roll up

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 your sleeves and dig

00:01:16 --> 00:01:16 in,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 putting in the effort to fix it.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24 The negative is the hard that says, this is too hard, give up.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 And it stays hard because it never gets fixed.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33 I've been thinking about what I and a number of close friends

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34 and family have gone

00:01:34 --> 00:01:34 through lately.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37 It seems like a lot.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 In our Monday night family Bible study,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 we've been reading through the book of James.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 He tells us through the inspired word that trials bring about

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48 patience and growth.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 Pair that with Philippians 4.13,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02 I often say that I trust God to do the heavy lifting because

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03 it's for certain that

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 I cannot do it on my own.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10 Just thinking about me trying to lift things on my own gave me

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12 the craziest mental image.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 Many years ago,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:20 there was an episode of SpongeBob where he felt kind of puny because,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:20 well,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22 if you've ever watched the show,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 you know he just is.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26 In this episode,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30 he's kind of tired of being like the 98-pound weakling on the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31 back of the old comic

00:02:32 --> 00:02:32 books,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 so he gets a pair of inflatable arms,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40 making himself look muscular to impress people during a lifting

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41 competition.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45 Being that the arms are fake plastic,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50 the odds that he's truly going to lift anything are virtually nil.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53 That's me and,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:54 well,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58 anyone trying to lift troubles without God's strength backing

00:02:59 --> 00:02:59 us.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05 If you are going through struggles, let God do the heavy lifting.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:12 But we must do like the old expression says, let go and let God.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16 Too often we either ask God to take it away,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20 which doesn't allow for the patience and growth that trials give us,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24 Or we grab it back like toddlers with a big,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25 me do it,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29 which isn't truly giving it to God to do the heavy lifting or

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30 strengthening us.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36 Our meme for today says, you don't have to fake it till you make it.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:41 You only need rely on God's strength, timing, and provision.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:51 Thanks for listening to Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.
