A better way?

Abraham Lincoln said, “If someone told me I had an hour to cut a tree down, I’d spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my ax.” Imagine the difference in the struggle and physical work of working with a dull ax versus a sharpened ax.

Ask God today, “Am I doing this Your way, the way that the yolk is easy and the burden is light, or am I doing it my way, the way that I have to work so hard that I’m beaten down and weary at the end of the day, unable to FULLY give my life?
