Too much on your plate? Turn to God!

Feeling a bit overloaded, too much to do, not sure what to do next or how you will get it all done? Think how Moses must have felt leading the children of Israel out of Egypt, through the wilderness to the promised land - hundreds of thousands of people, always complaining, aksing for more! Rhese readings take a look at some of what he faced and how God helped him through. I hope these ideas help you feel less burdened by the tasks at hand.

God's government - the only one in control

with all the tumult that is going on - in the weather with hurricanes and storms and in the economy with the collapse of financial giants - seemed like a good idea to affirm that God is really the only governing force and power, supreme over all.
