WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: COMFORTABLE IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES

The beggar at the gate called Beautiful had given up all hope he would ever walk. He had accepted his circumstances as unchangeable, like it was written in stone. This became his comfort zone. Survival depended on him begging from people walking past him.

He asked Paul and Silas for alms, not knowing his life was about to change. Paul and Silas gave him faith in God when he was lifted to his feet. As strength came into his feet and ankles, so did his faith in God. There are times we get comfortable in our circumstances. We need someone to lift us up out of our acceptance of the circumstances.

The cripple man laid at the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years. Every time the water was troubled someone else beat him to the pool. Only the first one in the water received their healing. He had little hope of ever being made whole. Then Jesus came along, the man started telling Jesus he had no one to help him get into the water when it was troubled. He was fixated on a possible cure. Jesus showed him a better way.

How many times does God have something better for us, but we don’t move because we are afraid. Our circumstances are not how we thought our lives would be, but we get comfortable in the circumstances. We allow fear to set in, because we aren’t where we wanted to be, but it could be worse so we become complacent.

Spiritual growth comes from stepping out in faith. It comes from being willing to try to walk on the water. I am sure it was a big stretch of faith for Peter to get out of the boat. But he wasn’t comfortable like the rest. They were afraid to try something new.

There are many different ways to be comfortable. Jesus can give us peace in our circumstances. We just don’t want to become stagnate to step out in faith. To walk out our faith, even when it is scary.

The body of Christ has been rocked to sleep with jokes and feel-good messages. Normally, the effect from these have worn off before the congregation gets their cars parked at the restaurant after service.

We need the old-fashioned preachers that dig deep in the word. Who have spent all week on their knees asking God. “What do I say this week to help the people draw closer to you?” We need to be challenged to be bold and take a step of faith. How do we get to the place we challenge ourselves. Pray, ask God for help.

We can be timid, but he can allow holy boldness to arise in us. Helping us to be his witnesses in our corner of the world.

Prov 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

We need God’s strength to find our boldness. God honors boldness of faith. We need to choose his path over our comfort zone. Being comfortable in our circumstances is not a place we have to stay. Jesus is right there to pick us up and show us there is a better way.

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP563 NEGATIVITY SINKS SHIPS

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v7ag5p2-god-focus-this-morning-ep563-negativity-sinks-ships.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: NEGATIVITY SINKS SHIPS

Yesterday, I talked about stretching our faith. We also need to minimize doubt. Faith without doubt is pure faith. God honors faith in him. Speaking out of our mouths positive things will help us to not speak doubt. If we ask for healing, we need to thank God for our healing. Speak positive words. Declare that you are the healed of God. Even if the symptoms say otherwise.

I saw a quote the other day that made me think: “An entire ocean can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside.”

It is not the ocean around the ship that sinks it. But it’s what gets inside that causes it to sink. Our lives are like that; we can be surrounded by negativity but we will not be sunk by the negativity unless it gets inside and takes root.

As I pondered that quote, I had to ask myself, “Is my ship sound?” In other words, are there any breaches. Do I allow anything inside that can sink my ship; negative talk, negative thoughts, sin of idolatry or pride?

Negative Talk

I often speak about how our words can affect our lives. Negative talk brings on doubt, fear, rejection and unbelief.

Prov 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

The word is full of verses about speaking life and not death. Speak positive words they are strength to the soul.

Prov 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

We must remain positive and not allow all the wrong things to get into our spirit. We are told to guard out heart.

Negative Thoughts

The things the enemy puts in our minds, we need to take control of and dismiss from our thoughts. He will bombard us with things of the past or worries about the future.

2 Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Identify the enemy’s lies, he will fill us with negativity any opportunity we allow him to have a small space. He will give us feelings of worthlessness. We must combat his attacks with the word.

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

We should always pray PS 19:14. For the words we speak and what we allow our minds and hearts to meditate on to be pleasing to God. We want do what is acceptable in his sight. He wants us to speak faith and hope. Positive words are key to keeping our lives on track.

Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

The more we know God’s word and have it in our hearts the stronger we are to fight against the enemy’s attacks. When we know the word, we will understand more how to avoid the pitfalls that cause us to fall into sin.

James 1:14-15 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Temptation comes from the enemy, if we can avoid temptation then it will not turn to desire and lust to entice us. Avoiding temptation will keep us from sin. All the temptation in the world like all the water in the ocean will not destroy us, unless it gets inside our ship.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING –EP562 LIMITLESS FAITH

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v7aegde-god-focus-this-morning-ep562-limitless-faith.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: LIMITLESS FAITH

Limiting beliefs does not equal fact. The fact is that God is limitless. But we limit him sometimes with our preconceived notions. We say nothing is impossible with our God. But we then will turn around and put limits on God. The limits are ours to own. But if we can stretch our faith and our imagination, the sky is not the limit, there is no limit.

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

The belief that this verse is true, will stretch our thinking. But it takes that crazy faith to walk on water, to call down fire from heaven. If we are going to change the world, we will have to take the limits off of God.

Human beings are limited by our resources, our fleshly strength, our belief system and the influence of our circle. That small group of people that we trust to have our best interest at heart. They are the ones who help form our ideas about faith, hope and love.

Jer 32:17 Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

This verse is a good one to reinforce to us that nothing is too hard for our God. Nothing is impossible. This needs to get down in our spirit.

Eph 3:17-20 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. The more we stretch our thinking and what we ask him for the greater things he will do. Our lack of faith is all that limits God in our lives.

Try to think of ways to stretch your faith and the ways your mind tries to limit God. He is truly limitless.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP560 DON’T TRY ME

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v7a699c-god-focus-this-morning-ep560-dont-try-me.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: DON’T TRY ME

Inspiration comes and we get excited about a new level in God. We get fresh oil of anointing poured into us and we feel like we can take on the world. We feel like the brave warrior that can raise up our sword and run into the battle. We know in our heart victory would be ours. God is with us.

We start praying things like, I want faith like Daniel in the lion’s den. Then when our Nebuchadnezzar arises, we question God. Instead of opening the windows and praying out loud in defiance, we ask God to not try us. We don’t want to walk through the trials of life. Trials are painful learning processes. There is nothing wrong with our zeal. There is something wrong with the execution of our battle plan.

We don’t want to be thrown into our version of the fiery furnace. But it is in the fiery trial we see what we are made of, gold or something that is going to burn away.

Eccl 2:5 For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.

Gold ore is thrown in a fire to melt the gold. It is during this time the impurities of dirt and other minerals that are in the gold gets burned out. Leaving pure gold. The more our faith is under fire, the stronger it becomes. The trials of life burn away our human emotions, hang up, insecurities and doubts. Leaving us with a purer faith.

We pray, “give me faith to not be fearful.” But when God sends our lion, bear or Goliath we pray, “Oh Lord why did you let this happen, I don’t want to be tried. Please remove the giant.” Not realizing sometimes that giant is what we need to see where our level of faith stands.

James 1:3-4 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Trials only come to make us stronger. Being tried is exercise for our faith muscles. In the natural, people lift weights to build muscle power and strength. As they gain strength they increase the weight to level up their strength.

Our faith is this way. We do not get up from an altar of repentance and become an instant David or Daniel. It takes years of walking out our faith daily. It takes the trying of that faith to help us grow into a mature Christian with fruit to show. There will never be testimony without a test or trial.

A goldsmith will pour out the liquid gold. Then he will proceed to beat it while it cools. This beating process shapes the gold. It makes it denser and stronger. When asked once how he knew the gold had been beaten enough, he said when I can see my reflection in it.

This is how God knows we have been beaten enough by our trials, when he begins to see himself in us. Trials and troubles produce fruit in our lives. Think about it the next time you are faced with a fiery trial. Are you going to allow the process or say to God, please don’t try me.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP559 MOMENTUM

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v7a4dam-god-focus-this-morning-ep559-momentum.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: MOMENTUM

Momentum determines how much effort it will take to stop and object or how much effort it will take to get moving again. I think about how a ball rolling down a hill will roll faster. But sometimes it takes a while to get to the ball rolling.

Once we have momentum in our spiritual walk, we need to keep it going. The enemy almost had the church stopped in 2020 when many chose to shut down. The enemy almost stopped us with distraction, fatigue and complacency. But we have prayed hard and are starting to get the momentum we need to keep going.

The momentum of revival is coming soon. We must be ready to go with the momentum of the wave of God’s movement.

Looking back sometimes gives us motivation to keep moving forward. For example: we look back to remember a bad situation that God stepped into and fixed. It’s good to be reminded of God’s help. We know we can keep moving forward as long as God is with is. But looking back even in grief, longing for the days of the past isn’t healthy. We will not see where God wants to take us if we are looking backwards. Moving forward is the only way.

Phil 3:13-14 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Paul was saying he didn’t claim to know everything. Apprehended means to mentally grasp a concept or to anticipate something with fear. In order to keep from falling into anxiety, he forgets the past. Instead, he reaches forward to the future. He presses toward the mark. He is saying we need to be focused on the goal, as if it were a race with a finish line.

It is dangerous to focus on the past, if the focus is on failures and things left undone. It is ok occasionally to look back at where God brought you from as a gratitude tool. We are defined by our past. We cannot become spiritually complacent. This is how the church as a whole, almost lost this world to our enemy. With a positive attitude we need to move forward with optimism and hope.

2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

We are talking about moving forward. We are new creations in Christ. As we run this race we may fall down, but God is there to pick us up. He will strengthen us and renew us so that we can finish our race.

Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

This is a reminder to let go of the things that are past. God will bring new things into each day. He has amazing things in store for us. But we will not be able to embrace them when we are stuck in the past.

Keeping our forward momentum going is crucial to our faith walk. There is nothing behind us, but God is before us. We will reach the end of our race with confidence as long as we don’t give up.

The reason Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt, was that she looked back. She looked back with longing. She didn’t want to leave her home and her married daughters. God had told them to leave and not look back.

Finishing the race strong is going to take prayer and determination. But there is nothing we cannot do with God on our side. If God be for us, who can be against us. The answer is no one of consequence.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP 558 PATH TO STRENGTH

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v7a2i60-god-focus-this-morning-ep-558-path-to-strength.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: PATH TO STRENGTH

I want to discuss strength, trust, weakness, faith with you today. Now each topic could be days long on their own. I want to share how they relate to keep us on the right path. In order for us to be effective in the land as witness, we must be strong. The enemy will try to discourage us and make us feel weak. Our faith and strength will keep us on the right path as the enemy tries to distract, deter and discourage us.

To be discouraged is to allow our joy to be depleted. Keeping the joy of the Lord is keeping our strength. Staying focused on the goodness of God is how to accomplish joy. It is separate from our circumstances. Our future is not determined by our circumstances, but by the grace of God.

Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

This verse creates a link between our trust in God and our joy. Worship can help bring joy to our lives. Worship can help to strengthen us. But more than what worship can do for us, we owe it to God to lift him up.

We can be strong and encouraged because God goes with us wherever we go. He will not leave us alone.

Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Because he is with us, we can trust him. He will watch over us and protect us. He is our hiding place, our strong tower, our deliverer. We will gain strength if we rest in him.

Psalm 32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

Faith over fear, takes joy and strength, we cannot allow weakness to cause us to fall into fear. Weakness is an opportunity to stand up and become strong. We cannot fail, God is within us. He will give us power to not be weak and weary, but will give us strength and power. In the physical when we exercise, we gain strength. Why would we not gain spiritual strength as we exercise our prayer and worship muscles.

Isaiah 40: 29-31 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Waiting upon God to move in our lives is the ultimate way to strength. Our hope, our strength, our Joy and our Peace all come from Jesus. I encourage you to praise and pray for God to renew your strength and joy. Imagine soaring high above the cares of this life, like an eagle soars high in the sky. We can have that carefree feeling when we wait on God and allow him to give us peace and joy.

He will renew us to run and not be tired, if we can walk and not faint. This reminds us that he is always there to give us strength when we need it. Thank God for his amazing love and the strength he gives us everyday to keep running our race.

Until next time,

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP554 INSPIRED BY HISTORY

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v79sck4-god-focus-this-morning-ep554-inspired-by-history.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: INSPIRED BY HISTORY

What I am about to share with you was left out of our bibles but it is in Fox’s Book of Martyrs and is widely accepted as the truth of history. The book of Revelations was written by John. He had been exiled to the island of Patmos. But our Bibles left out a story that could be used for inspiration along with stories of the three Hebrew men, David and Goliath and Daniel in the lion’s den.

Many have been martyred for the gospel. Others the enemy tried to destroy and God had other plans. Just like John. He was making Rome nervous with his loud declaration of the gospel of Christ. He was so passionate about his task of spreading the gospel that they could not stop him. Threats, decrees nothing would shut him up.

Rome could not have people turning from the empire to Christianity. They decided to make an example of him, by public execution. They hoped to put fear into the people. Many gathered to watch the execution. They got a cauldron of oil and set it over a flame. They heated it until it was roughly boiling. They lowered John into the pot of oil. But instead of a brutal screaming display of John dying, he was fine. No harm came to him.

The fire of God inside of him protected him from the fire under him and the hot oil that surrounded him.

Rome was afraid that if the people saw him walking around, it would increase their faith in Christianity. They exiled him to the isle of Patmos. It is generally believed that he wrote Revelations from that island. Although some argue he wrote it in Ephesus.

The point is that many have died for this gospel. Many others have made great sacrifices to further the gospel. It is not to be taken lightly. Now the torch has been passed to us. What will our story be, will we stand strong no matter what we have to face? Will we be bold and brave in the face of adversity?

The times in which we live, has its own set of struggles. Many people in other countries are being jailed and martyred for the gospel. God gives his people what they need to withstand their adversities. We are here for such a time as this, because there is much to be done to gather the harvest.

Just as all who have gone before us had their tasks to further the kingdom, we too have ours. Each day we have a choice to make; do we keep going or do we give up. We owe it to all of those who have died to further the gospel to stand strong. Fight the good fight of faith. We owe it to all the lost souls to share this beautiful gift we have been given.

We all want to finish our course well. Knowing that we left nothing undone. Be encouraged we live in an exciting time. We are about to see an amazing move of God. That will be worth it all.

Matt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Go out today and make a difference, let your light shine.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP553 LIFTED HANDS

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v79ql7g-god-focus-this-morning-ep553-lifted-hands.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: LIFTED HANDS

In the seventeen chapter of Exodus, we find an example of what it means to support our leaders. It reminds us that we are stronger together than divided by denominations and man’s ideas.

Exodus 17:10-13 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.12 But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Aaron and Hur held up Moses’ arms and hands against their enemies the Amalekites. As long as Moses kept his arms up, they were winning. When he put them down, they would start to lose. Aaron and Hur knowing how tired Moses must be sat him on a rock and stood beside of him lifting and supporting his arms.

This is a lesson to how to fight our battles. We must keep our hands raised up in praise. Moses knew God would deliver them and they would come out of the battle victorious. But God must get the credit and the glory.

There is not a battle we face that he cannot see us through. When Moses grew weary, he had someone he could count on to lift his arms. How often have we faced battles and our strength grew weary, but no physical person was there at the time? We had to rely on God. We had to find the strength to push through and hold on.

Then there were times during battles when Jesus sent someone to lift up our arms. Even though we felt we could not continue, those he sent said, Yes you can do it. Many times, people just need a word of encouragement that the Lord is on their side and that they can make it through the battle.

Deut 20:4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

This doesn’t say he will go with you sometimes, if he’s in the mood. He will be there to fight for us against our enemies. He will save us and deliver us. Some verses will tell us to stand still and see what God will do. Others tell us to hold our peace. “Stand still” and “hold your peace” these phrases are reminders that the battle is not ours but God’s. Another reason to stand still or pay attention is so we can see the battle. We will see the enemy defeated. Like the children of Israel saw the Egyptians destroyed in the Red Sea. We can rejoice and celebrate our victory. There is something powerful about lifted hands in praise. It is a gesture which shows surrender, devotion and reverence in worship of our God.

We need to pray for our pastors and pray for the leaders of our country. If the intention is praise, prayer, worship or warfare, we should always lift up our hand to God. In doing so we just may win the battle.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP550 REJOICE

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v79gx5q-god-focus-this-morning-ep550-rejoice.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: REJOICE

The word rejoice is used in several places in the Bible. The Psalms are full of verses about rejoicing in the Lord.

Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

Rejoice means to take delight in God. It is an active expression of joy because of God’s character. It is not based on emotion. We can and should rejoice even in the bad times. The size of our storms should not matter. What matters is being in the presence of God. Worship is about a God connection. As we lift our hands and focus on the presence of God, he will meet us there.

In other words, if we trust in him, we will rejoice because he is God. Rejoice is a lot like worship both are about who he is; our God. Praise goes with thanksgiving to show him we are grateful for all that he has done for us.

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Thanksgiving will get you in the gate. You are in the courtyard. But to get to the king you have to enter into his court house with praise. Worship and rejoicing will get you into the court room for an appointment with the king. It is easier to petition the court if you are in the court room with the judge.

Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

We gain many things by being in God’s presence. While in his presence he restores us and renews our strength. He fills our hearts with gladness and joy. But we have to worship and get into his presence to be renewed. Take time to praise the Lord for all that he has done. Worship him for who he is, our Lord, our Savior and soon coming King.

GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING EP549 SURRENDERED HEART

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO VERSION: https://rumble.com/v79f8dk-god-focus-this-morning-ep549-surrendered-heart.html

WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE: SURRENDERED HEART

A surrendered heart is a sign of a surrendered life. People often say when someone makes a start to serve Jesus that they surrendered their heart. But that surrender normally takes a life time to achieve.

I know from personal experience that I am more sold out to the cause of Christ than at any point in my life. My heart is more surrendered than it was five years ago, ten years ago or even when I started my journey of a faith walk with Christ.

He desires our surrender. He wants us to give up total control to him. As someone who is hardwired to be in control, it is a hard thing to relinquish. But by giving up that control we learn to trust him more and more.

Matt 16:24- Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

What does it mean to take up our cross and follow Jesus? It was not easy for the man part of Jesus to go to the cross. He asked that the father let the cup pass from him. But he then surrendered to the plan, even though it meant horrific pain. Surrender involves personal sacrifice and sometimes making painful choices.

Romans 12:2 -And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Surrender means we pickup our Bibles to renew our minds instead of doing something we want to do. Surrender means that we listen for God’s voice and try to walk in his path for our feet; his will.

Phil 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Surrender means that we give our cares and concerns to God. We are not supposed to allow anything to cause us to be anxious. When we give God our cares he turns around and gives us peace. Keeping ourselves in a place of surrender means we will have peace.

Matthew 6:34 -Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Surrender means that we trust God to provide whatever we need when tomorrow becomes today. We were never meant to live in any other day but the current one. We cannot get so wrapped up in the past that we carry the pain and hurt from the past into a new day. We cannot be so worried about the future that we do not live today.

God has promised to provide for us. He will give us what we need. Surrender means that we will submit to his will and not worry about tomorrow.

When we surrender, we are telling God that we trust him to keep his word. It opens up our lives for him to work. We often tie God’s hands when we pray for something then turn around and try to work it out for ourselves. He is all knowing, all powerful, he doesn’t need our assistance. He needs our surrender.

Prov 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

When we truly learn to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts he will do amazing things with us and for us. Surrender means trusting with all of our heart. If we can do that and not listen to our human reasoning but acknowledge God and his plan, he will always keep our feet on the right path.

Walking by faith, we continue to surrender each day. Paul said, “I die daily.” Meaning he had to get up everyday and make a choice. Do I lean on my understanding and human instinct or do I follow Jesus and allow him to direct my path.

In our path is confusion, lies of the enemy, obstacles to overcome. If we trust in the Lord he will help us navigate all the traps and keep us going in his wisdom and peace. A surrendered heart is a sign of a surrendered life. God is not looking for perfection, but a life fully surrendered to him.
