I hope you will not think I am equivocating if I answer, “It depends.” Because it does. Sometimes
believers have to do a great deal of the heavy lifting while carrying out the
plans and purposes of God. To shirk our obligations would be to defy God
himself. Other times, getting involved in accomplishing God’s purposes is not
only unnecessary, but can cause all kinds of complications and regret.
Abraham’s wife Sarah could tell you how badly that can go.
