Freedom in Surrender!

Releasing the state of feeling imprisoned and allowing yourself to be with what is right in front of you.

Acknowledging what you see and taking action to accomplish what needs to be done.

Oh glorious day sweet people! Walk in freedom today! Whatever the task, whatever the day may bring, rest in knowing, you are not facing it alone.

God is so good and he reigns! Sweet surrender was laid on my heart this morning. What do you need to surrender to? Sometimes I think we put too much into the fight and become so stubborn we create more anxiety for ourselves. Stay with me, keeping it simple...if you see the trash needs to be taken out, surrender to it and simply take it out. That's a very simple analogy but I think you can get the gist of where I'm going. It is past time to quit side stepping what is placed before us and surrender to it and meet it head on. In God's strength all things are possible.

Surrender for some can certainly be, acknowledging Jesus and turning your life over to him. We bind ourselves up in so many areas by holding on to unnecessary stress. Crazy thing is, we bring a lot of it on ourselves. Champions, there's freedom in surrender. Not our will be done but his! As you go through your daily routine today, acknowledge and surrender to the areas that are binding you and experience the joy, the peace, the freedom, surrender brings through Jesus! Walk humbly and know he cares for you!

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

1 Peter 5: 6-10
