Is it possible for me to be a doctor and still support my pastor-husband in all of his needs?

“I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.”
Jn 5:30 NKJV
HOW’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD? (2)

Three things describe Christ’s relationship with His Father: intimacy, dependency and
obedience. Today let’s look at His dependency on God. “The Son can do nothing of
Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like
manner” (v.19 NKJV). Jesus knew He couldn’t do anything without His Father, so He didn’t
bother to try. We, on the other hand, sing, “Without Him I can do nothing,” then go out and
act like it all depends on us. If we succeed, we often become so conceited that nobody
can stand us. And if we fail, it’s usually because we collapsed under the weight of an
assignment God didn’t give us in the first place. Have you ever wondered why Jesus never
struggled with insecurity or battled the fear of failure like we do? Because it never even
occurred to Him that He couldn’t do something that His Father had already assured Him
He could do. When you know you have heard from God you can face any obstacle or
enemy with confidence. God will never give you an assignment that does not require His
wisdom and undergirding strength. Indeed, every act of God in your life is designed to
increase, not decrease your dependence on Him. You say, “But I have talent. I can do a
lot of things!” Yes, but you can do nothing that matters in God’s eyes. So before you begin
your day, kneel and pray, “Lord, I’m counting on You, and I don’t have a backup plan!”
