Today, I was thinking about the daunting tasks we face daily. Sometimes, they simply overwhelm.

We know our strength comes from the Lord. We cannot do anything without Him. As we move forward in doing what He would have us do, we still must do. How?

It reminded me of the old saying, “There is only one way to eat an elephant: a bite at a time.” (Desmond Tutu) Now, of course, I am not saying we eat elephants. Instead, overcome the challenges bit by bit.

Some days with chronic illness, I have to talk myself through it. For example: Do the dishes can be too much. Do dishes for five minutes. Rest. Repeat. Soon, the dishes will be done.

What elephants are you facing right now? How can you take them “one bite at a time.”
