Morning Champ.
Don’t Take Your Life into Your Own Hands, but Place it in His.
Acts 2:21 (NKJV)
And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.’
When you called on the name of the Lord, as promised, you were saved. Saved from what? You were saved from your sins yes but also you were saved from the consequences and fallout of everything that Adam and Eve did wrong in there moment of deception and fall.
Your faith in Jesus, as we have said, reinstates and restores you as a citizen of God’s kingdom. Now you need to make the decision to no longer live independently, but rather dependently. Before we believed in Jesus we did not have a choice. Our lives were independent, separated by sin from the governing and covering of God and his kingdom, but not now!
We used to have to hold our own lives in our own hands but now there is a better way. We can place our lives lock, stock, and barrel into the loving strong hands of a mighty God. As you yield your life into His hands, pledging your trust in them, it is then that you experience all the blessings, protection and grace that Adam knew before his moment of foolishness.
So here is the choice Champion, you can keep your life in your hands and do the best you can to make things happen, maintaining your independence, or humbly place it in the hands of your ever- redeeming God and watch Him lift you, protect you, and provide for you far beyond what you could have ever imagined.
1 Peter 5:6 (NKJV)
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.
Put your life (all of it) back into His hands because it’s a better place to be. Faith is simply “dependence on God”!
Bless you
