Our ministry is to reach out to the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help believers be equipped with a solid knowledge of the Word of God, the Bible, and be encouraged to apply it in every aspect of their daily lives. There are simple truths for these complex times to help people live in a way that brings real spiritual victory to them and more importantly, through the Lord Jesus Christ, glory to God our Father.

Numbers 11:14
(Moses said) I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me.

When the Jews were in the wilderness, now freed from the harsh bondage of Egypt, they complained bitterly to Moses about the manna God was miraculously providing to feed them. They looked back to the meat and fish they ate 'for free' when they were under the taskmasters of Pharaoh. {Num.11:4-6} Harsh taskmasters indeed and hardly free considering what they had to do for their food!

Moses was absolutely correct in knowing that he alone was not able to carry the burden of all those people—God never intended for him to do so! The Lord would later speak through the prophet Isaiah of the Savior proclaiming: “...In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old.” {Is.63:9}

So many, if not all, of the tasks and challenges that we face today are too great for us to bear alone. Zerubbabel who was used by the Lord to start rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem faced a daunting task and the Lord spoke to him saying: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.” {Zec.4:6}

God made it clear that He did not select Israel to be His chosen people, His possession, because they were more numerous or stronger than any others. they were in fact the fewest of all peoples! {Deut.7:7} Our human nature would lead us to take the credit and the glory if we did carry the burden on our own! And, He said that He is the Lord and will not give His glory to another! {Is.42:6:8} We always need to seek the Lord and His strength; to seek His face continually. {1Chron.16:11}

Whatever God has called you and I to do, all that we do, we are told not lean on our own understanding or on our own strength because it will surely be too burdensome. So, lean on the Lord! As that lovely old hymn written by Elisha Hoffman says,
   "What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
       Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!
    What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
        Leaning on the Everlasting Arms!"

The answer for you and I as we face the challenges of the day today is still the same: To walk in the love, faith and the power of Almighty God who sent His Son Jesus to make a way when there was no way.

“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:2-5)
