For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. — Galatians 6:3
Self-sufficiency is an arrogant myth. There is no such thing as self-sufficiency in the church. We all have burdens! Every one of us, from the oldest member to the youngest member, from the newest believer to the oldest believer, from staff members to occasional attenders, has burdens that cannot be borne by ourselves. This is precisely why Jesus came. Jesus came and bore the weight of all our burdens and left us with the Spirit so that we could bear each other's burdens.
But as soon as we think "we are something" or can handle it alone, we are deceived. Thus, we will reject the Spirit and the relief found in the church.
So, to those of you who have been told:
You've got this.
You're strong enough.
You can manage.
You have the strength.
You can tackle it alone.
You're capable.
You're self-sufficient.
You can take care of it.
You're able to handle it on your own.
You can get over it.
Not one of these statements is true. If you are a believer, they are the farthest thing from the truth. To believe them is to live in self-deception. You need Jesus, his Spirit, and a Christ-fearing body of believers who can help you bear the burdens in your life.

ASK THIS:
Reflect on a time when you believed you could handle a burden alone. How did that experience impact your relationship with God and your community of believers?
In what ways can you actively seek support and share burdens with others in your church community this week?
DO THIS: Offload your burdens or lighten the load for a needy brother today.
PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to recognize the deception of self-sufficiency and embrace the truth of my need for You and the community of believers. Grant me the humility to seek support and share burdens with others, as I trust in Your strength to sustain me. Amen.
PLAY THIS: This Is Your Church.
