Oftentimes, we can feel the need to control things and situations in our lives. It’s almost as if it makes us feel safe, but not realizing we are not our protectors. God knows everything about us from the end to the beginning and he wants the best for us, and will not harm us, but prosper us in all things. In this revelation, I reflected on my life and saw how I was trying to manage my life, holding on tight to what I have; remaining in comfortability and nothing grows in comfort. It takes stretching, it takes uncomfortable situations to produce growth. Even if you reflect on a seed, how a hole is dug and it’s placed deep into the soil; in darkness, to begin to take root and produce, and from that environment it begins to sprout and break through the soil and bloom. God gave me these scriptures to meditate on in this season to walk into the newness of Him and receive the great things he has released.
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 1 Timothy 1:7
God has given us power, dunamis, the strength, power and ability to push forth, the power and the influence to obtain all that He has for us. He gives us self-discipline and empowers us on our assignments.
“For I the Lord, thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Isaiah 41:13
God will strengthen and grow you, as you draw near to him, He will draw near to you. He will walk with you and hold you. He will protect you and support you and be a very present help.
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-10
Our Father is able to make abundance exist in your life, more than you can ever imagine or think. In His presence you will begin to experience unspeakable joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, loving-kindness, favor, and His benefits as a child of God.
When you release your control of the situations in your life, off of the small finances you are managing, your hand begins to open, your heart begins to open, your mind begins to open to then receive what God has, his best for you. God will do exceedingly, abundantly above what you can ever ask, think or imagine. Release control today and receive from the Father.
