Let Go Let God

    There are always going to be things in our life that remain out of our control. So why do we stress over those things? We invest ourselves and make the issues we can't control OUR problem, even when they aren't. Our problems are the ones we can take action to solve. What do we do when things are just out of our hands?

    I believe this all comes down to a trust issue. If we truly trust Jesus with our lives, or the lives of others, we would have no problem giving up the issues we can't control in prayer. Yet, we labor over these things and try to think of something that we can do to solve the issue. Why do we trust in our own power rather than Jesus'?

    We need to have a revelation that many things are just beyond us. Sometimes Jesus will ask us to move after He has done all of the work behind the scenes that we are unaware of. It is foolish to make a move without Him to back you up. If He is the one guiding you there, you can bet He will back you up with His power and His favor. We should be striving to keep in step with the Spirit and His will because that's when things work out for the best.

    When we face issues that we cannot control, pray. He has given us His name as an authority. Use it in prayer and speak to those issues, trusting God to act on your behalf. Pray until your Spirit is at peace. When you have truly released the issue to Jesus in prayer, you will no longer be anxious. His gift to us is peace that transcends all understanding. Operate in His peace and His will today and like the saying says, "let go, let God"-- He's got this.

Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (ESV)

Isaiah 45:2 I will go before you and level the uneven places; I will shatter the bronze doors and cut the iron bars in two. (HCSB)

Philippians 4:2 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

Philippians 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth (NIV)

John 14:13-14 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. (NIV)

Deuteronomy 31:8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (ESV)

Jealous Eyes to Thankful Hearts

    When you love someone you want the best for them. You don't think about all the things they have and you don't, but you think of what you want to give to them. Likewise, it is hard to love someone when you are focused on wanting all their blessings. Jealousy is blinding. We cannot love with envy standing in the way.     Envy takes our eyes off of Jesus and the things He is doing and onto what He is not  seeming to do for us, personally. It is a dangerous trap to be in because you are blind to what He has given to you. He blesses and uses us all differently. Amazingly, we are each completely unique in Him. Don't let the enemy distract you with what you don't seem to have, but let Jesus show you what you do.     When we don't see what is around us we begin to lose our thankfulness. We are supposed to be living a lifestyle of thankfulness to Jesus and all the wonderful things He has done for us. We thank Him and we praise Him and let Him use us ac...

Dancing Through the Fire

     For a couple weeks now the Lord has been pressing this message on my heart. He revealed a flaw in my thinking I hadn't noticed. You see, when hard times come it's in my nature to duck and cover. I go into "survival mode" and I get tunnel vision. I only focus on getting through what's in front of me alive. But in doing so, not only do I miss a lot of opportunities, but I give in to the voice of fear in my life.     I know I don't speak only for myself when I say that God wants to us in our "every day lives." Not only at church or on a special mission trip, but in the trenches of the grocery store, the gym, work, etc. It is His will that every soul is saved and He wants us to go out into the world and win those hearts for Him. But when I put myself in survival mode, I block out all the opportunities God lays before me. When I numb myself with the routine of each passing day, week, and month, I miss out on sharing the one thing of eternal importa...

How Firm a Foundation

Matthew 7:24-27 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Luke 6:46-49 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against th...
