Don't put all your eggs in one basket. We've all heard it before, and it makes sense, right? Well, it does if you're carrying the eggs. You might trip and fall or drop a basket, and then what? Your eggs get broken and make a mess. But while this seems like good advice for people who try to carry their important things themselves, and even seems like it's been proven right when sooner or later one of our many baskets gets damaged, it's actually bad advice. No matter how we spread things out and use different baskets, we're going to fail to keep all our eggs safe. In fact the more baskets we have, the harder it becomes to carry them all. We actually need to put all our eggs, everything that matters in the slightest, everything of value we have, into one basket.
Just make sure it's God's basket and that He is the one carrying it. It doesn't matter if the eggs are all in the same place if that place is the one place where nothing can get to them, where they will never be mishandled no matter what. Protection through dispersion is about acceptable losses, but there is no need for acceptable losses when God has the basket of our lives. The enemy comes to steal and destroy but is powerless to prevail against our protector and refuge. We don't need to spread our eggs out, we just need to stop carrying the basket.
