Surrender 2.0
Beloved–
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers— the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? (from Psalms)
“I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross” the song goes. I’ll never understand why almighty God chose to allow his beloved son to pay my debt of sin. How can I not SURRENDER every minute of my life to his guidance and continuous praise and thanksgiving?
I pray everyday for you to recognize that the safest place to surrender is at the foot of the cross.
Luv Ya!
Surrender
Beloved–
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires… (from Psalms)
When I first read this scripture I thought it was a “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” situation; I proclaim I belonged to Jesus and he would solve all my problems. Then I learned because, he is the creator and knows the beginning and the end, he also knows the best solution to all my problems. My part is TOTAL SURRENDER to his will for my life; easier said than done.
I pray for you daily to want to surrender.
Luv Ya!
Control 2.0
Beloved–
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take… My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline, and don’t be upset when he corrects you. (from Proverbs)
By reading scripture I learned God was guiding my path; I wasn’t getting smarter. So I decided to deliberately organize my actions and my thoughts to do things God’s way. I soon found out I wasn’t able to be obedient either. I still wanted things my way. Looking back, I see I have not come very far to confessing that God is always in CONTROL.
I pray for you everyday to want God to be in control of your life.
Luv Ya!
