Put All Your Eggs In One Basket?

Have you been in a situation where you need help? I'm sure you have. In many ways, you probably went to someone to know the right step to take or maybe ask for help directly, which could be financially based.


Many times people may have come through for you, again maybe they didn't or couldn't. It's not their fault no matter how sincere the person was. The fact that just played out is that they showed they were only human.

With this in mind, we have developed a sceptical approach when dealing with men by not putting all your eggs in one basket which always appears to be the wise thing to do.

But I'm here to tell you that even though not putting all your eggs in one basket seems wise, it really isn't and is also very stressful. Why is this so?

As Sons and Daughters of God, we claim we have the Holy Spirit residing inside of us, yet we talk of not putting all our eggs in one basket as a wise decision.

So, what makes us stand out as different from the world's way of reasoning? It is our complete rest in the only one whose word can never be shaken or altered by anything whatsoever. His name is Jesus.

"Wow, I didn't know that" (speaking sarcastically). Why don't we trust the Lord Jesus when He leads us through His word and the Holy Spirit?

Jesus said to His disciples in John 14:12-14, “¹² Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."

Jesus said whatever we ask in His name, He will do it. No, I don't think we understand this. For God never had a Plan B. He just had the Plan. He is not a man that should lie, (ref.: Numbers 23:19). Whatever assurance He gives, is as good as signed, sealed, and delivered. So, it is "over-safe" to put all your eggs in His basket alone.

We have His Spirit of truth residing in us to guide and lead us. He is the one who would tell us how to go about whatever we are to do, and how to do it. It is this complete trust in Him seeing it done already because He said that is faith. And this is how He said we are to live as His Sons and Daughters! So, why do we make decisions like the people of the world, by our so-called not putting all our eggs in one basket as the safe?

No matter the number of baskets you place your eggs in, as long as the basket is not the basket of Jesus, it is unwise and unsafe!

Again, if you put some eggs in the basket of Jesus, and some in another, it is unwise, because it shows you don't have faith in Jesus.

Have faith in Jesus because He has settled your problems before you asked Him to. All you had to do was activate by believing that He alone did it. This is faith, and putting all your eggs in His basket.


Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
