Reflections September 17th - 23rd

Many times I bring my burdens, my concerns, my circumstances and lay them at the feet of Jesus, then just as quickly I turn right around and pick them back up. Doesn’t show a lot of trust, does it? Can you relate?

I’m tired of it!…How about you? 

• God says to trust Him.
• I know He is worthy of my trust…yet I struggle
• What if I actually trusted Him with everything?
• What if I actually gave Him everything . . . every single thing and nothing less?
• What if I could not only say along with the psalmist, “O Lord, I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God!”, but actually lived it out in my life?
• How can I be more consistent in trusting Him?

I believe the main ingredient in completely trusting Jesus is obedience. As the hymn says, “Trust and Obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey”.

Sounds like a good place to start.

Questions  for Reflection:

1. Do I really trust Jesus with everything in my life?
2. Have I fully surrendered myself to Him?
3. Who is really in control, me or Jesus?
