Fall greetings to you all!

 

When is the last time that you truly let go of something? You tried it your way, pushed for it to go right, only for it to fall flat to the ground with no help from others or no fruitfulness in the end. I can till, I can weed, I can plant, I can water, but in the end, it just didn't work. 

God has a plan for us. We need to learn to fall back on Him and let Him lead us according to His design.

 

Philippians 3 states, "But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." 

 

What have you gained from this life if you work and push yourself to receive all of the "benefits" that this life can provide? You may gain money, time off, or fame, but does that matter in the end? There will always be something "more" to get in this life according to our earthly desires. 

Do you have memories of that time you sat on the couch and did nothing? Do you cherish your time sitting quietly on your phone? Or is there something more to remember? Is there something greater that will give more meaning to your past? 

 

I think it is time to let go and fall into God's plan. Look for things that last in your life and in your family's life. Spend time every day in God's Word. Take time to read, mark, learn, and listen to God's calling. Fall back on God's Word! Let go of things so that God has room to reorder your life. You'll be at peace when He does.

 

Christ Jesus is king now and forevermore!

In peace,

Jon.
