I have to admit that I'm stealing the theme of today's message at church. The actual title was, "Who's in Charge." The segment I liked best was about removing your shoes as an act of submission to the totality of God, a surrender to let Him control everything. For someone like me that has struggled with being in charge most of my adult life, I had mixed emotions. It was very certain that I want to be found obedient to God but he concept of total loss of control was daunting.
How about you? If you control or try and control your enviornment, is it working for you? Or are you stressed out most of the time? If you don't control people and situations is the thought of never doing so okay with you? I think for most all of us we are in one camp or the other.
Lord, I want you to have the supreme reins of my life. I know you have my best interest in mind and that the problems usually arise when I get in the way. Help me and my readers to relinquish everything over to you. There is a holy freedom that brings us peace that this world can't give. We long for it and the joy too. Amen
So my mountain resembles what Moses must have faced when he heard God speak from the burning bush asking him to remove his sandals because he was standing on Holy ground. I have submitted this entire 365 day journey to God to take me where He wants and do with me what He needs to accomplish healing only He can bring. I am commited to the process and looking forward to victory in my life. I know He can do it for you too but the journey for all of us starts with the first step.
