What Are you Holding to ?

Psalm 18:31-32 (CEB)31 Now really, who is divine except the Lord?  And who is a rock but our God?32 Only God! The God who equips me with strength and makes my way perfect,

Sometimes  you have to ask yourself  a few  question to  reevaluate where you are.   For example,  What  are some areas of your  life that you are  holding onto that you haven't fully surrendered  to God? (i,e money relationships, money, or bad habits) 

 A  method of  determining  what those things are  is  to  begin paying attention to   some of   the things you talk about  the most  and the  things that consume your thoughts.  Have you made these things bigger in your life than the power of  God to  conquer  them?  These  questions  can be  very  sobering  especially  when  you begin to recognize a pattern.

Sometimes we are  pick and choose  the things  we  keep and the things we are  willing  to  give over to  God   based on what  is  comfortable.  The  truth is  our  comfort zone does more harm than  good and  keeps us stale in  our walk  with God.  Holding onto  dead relationships, poor habits   will  never  fulfill your  life the way   Christ will.  There is absolutely  no  comparison and yet  many of  us will  hold on to these things that keep us  broken hoping somehow  for a  different outcome.  

Think honestly,  where would we  be without God, who is  like  our  God?  Sometimes we  become so distracted by ourselves that we  forget  how much   of life  depends on every word from God!   Through  our own  abilities  we  cannot  maintain   air in our  lungs  or our  hearts  beating in our  chest .  So It  seems   foolish   to give ourselves partially  to God when you  put things into perspective of  how our very being  depends on Him.

God  wants all of you  as  you are  right where you are.   You don't have to fix anything or  arrive at  a certain point in your life or talk to anyone else before talking to Him.  There is  no time like the  present  whatever it is , whatever you are  holding onto  that is  blocking you from trusting  God  fully  take  those things to  Him in prayer, ask for the courage to let  go and to reset your  focus on Him.

Love,
