Greetings to all, let us be thankful to God on this "grateful" Thursday for giving us the grace to surrender everything to Him, from our burdens to all the things we worry about. Amen
Although we can depend on God to help us when we are concerned and worried, we must not stop fighting the good fight of faith during those times. So many times, we want to lay down and quit while depending on and expecting others and God to do for us what we can do for ourselves.
There are those problems that will keep on coming. But we must be reminded that we are allowed to rest but never to lay down and quit. We serve the capable and all-knowing God, who is with us.
Matthew 6:31 (MSG)
31 What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving.
Lesson: Let us not hold on and be so wrapped up or distracted by our worries and concerns that we miss seeing God's help and provisions. When we let go and surrender our worries and concerns to God, He will deliver us.
God doesn't want us just to lay down when He gives us what we want, but to worship Him for who He is. The lord is our banner; let us wave our white flag of surrender to encourage others and let them know that they are not alone.
