Let It Go

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

So let’s embrace “Surrender” today. You know, you’ve been holding back and you’ve held on too tightly for too long but you know there’s a certain, sweet peace in letting it go, and in giving it over to the Sovereign God in control of it all. But you just can’t do it! You can’t let go of that control that you think you have ~ and yet deep down you know you have no control ~ no control at all! The more you try the worse it gets.

Those worries, fears, concerns, secret things that lie tucked away in the deep compartments of your soul ~ all those unforgiven moments that gnaw daily through the comfort zone of your life, chewing a hole through your heart and mind leaving you bitter and very uneasy prove you have no control over the issues. Your control has only left you feeling helpless, empty and alone. Today, surrender it ~ hold it out, and let it go with the wind! Blow it towards Heaven ~ towards God and let Him have it once and for all. He cares ~ He really does. He desires our complete and full out surrender not our half – hearted attempts of trusting Him. So for the big or the small ~ simply trust ~ give it over and exchange it for God’s peace and a sweet peace of mind.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

John 14:27
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

OUR GOD IS

Courage Or Fear?

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days


Hey heart! Just trust God for the outcome of whatever it is that has you tied in knots today. It could be relationships, finances, health, family, that next huge hurdle or that looming mountain to climb! Maybe you find yourself in the valley of lowest of lows today and to pull up those socks to get moving is just too much and takes too much effort!! Going back to bed sounds so easy and is so much easier than facing the day. Well, beautiful soul ~ Know that God has you in the palm of His hand and is working it out and even though you don’t see it or feel, just believe it and find your peace in that thought. Don’t expect too much of yourself today but try just a step forward ~ that’s all ~ just a step ~ just a small one, with your hand firmly grasping the Lord’s hand and your heart focused on His grace for you! He’ll sustain you and keep you even during the difficult moments of today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Focus on Christ not your problem, not the storm, and watch for His miracles to unfold.

Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ[a] who strengthens me.”

Matthew 14: 25 – 33

“Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Caught


Psalm 27: 13, 14

“Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness, while I am here in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”

The Psalmist here, is expressing full confidence and so importantly “Hope” in the Lord His God, even amidst the struggles of life and the enemies that accused and waited to take his life. Can you do the same today? Are you going through hardship, difficulties, adversity? Has something sideswiped you off your feet leaving you frustrated, discouraged, and downcast. Have poor choices of loved ones, or perhaps even your own bad moves, placed you in the pit of despair? Does your hope fade and do you feel like just running from it all? Remember, the enemy is at work and he roams about seeing whom he may devour. He’ll snap you up in a split second of unawareness, much like an insect entrapped in a spider web.

I watched yesterday, as a bumblebee happily buzzed around some flowers but little did he know of the spider web that awaited his flight. The happy buzzzz came to a very, quick halt as he flew directly into the web. He was completely caught, tight and fast with no chance of escape. The huge spider was out like a flash for the capture to complete his work and shoot his poisonous venom into his unsuspecting prey. Since I was there and saw the whole thing go down, my heart was for the bee not the spider and so I grabbed a stick to release the bee from his thick web of hopelessness. He dropped to the ground, recouped and went on his merry way happily buzzing around the same flowers. I destroyed the web and sent the spider back into hiding. The web was gone, but the spider is still there somewhere, to rebuild and reweave and set another trap. The enemy works the same way and sin has the same snare. Christ is the One who frees us from it’s venom and it’s destruction. He’s our mediator and our way to God. He rescues from the entanglement of sin and sets us on the right path…the path of righteousness!

Focus on the Lord with all your mind, soul and heart when going through trials, tribulations, struggles, disappointments, despair, confusion, heartache, frustration and failure. Delight in Him! Come into His sweet presence! Wait on Him! Think on Him, meditate on Him! Talk to Him and Listen to His still small voice speaking peace into your situation. You will find He’s the anchor in your wind tossed boat. The life preserver in your deep water. The refuge in your storm. The hope in your despair. The strength in your weakness! The peace in your confusion. The healing in your heartache. The calmness in your chaos and the victory in your failure!!

So friends, take heart!! Remain strong in the Lord! Be confident that God is looking after you and the events in your life regardless of how it feels. Give Him the reigns, the driver’s wheel and the controls of your life. Remain there, until He takes you out and brings the blessing!! He knows what He’s doing. He’s the sovereign Lord, the creator of all things. He holds your struggle in he palm of His creative hand. He can crush it! It’s His hand that turns rags to riches, and makes beauty from ashes. Wait on the Lord in your time of trouble and He will lift you up to a place of honor, because that’s just what He does. Let Him catch you in the fall! Our God is an awesome God! Let Him refresh you!

He reigns!! Let Him reign!!!
