“And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.” Deuteronomy 28:13
When you try to control everything, everything is only controlled by your limited capacity.βBut when you loosen your grip, and place it in God’s hands, He can work something wonderful, beyond your wildest dreams.
Sounds nice, you might say, but it’s easier said than done.β
I think we’ve all been there at one time or another, a time when what we know and read in the promises of Scripture is asked to come alive in our hearts and actions.βIt’s a call to let go.βSurrender.βGive up, in the very best way, of trying to figure everything out and pretending we have all the answers, and freefall into the arms of our loving God who is omniscient, who is all-powerful.β
It is totally trusting, not in our own abilities, but in His who has never failed to catch the one committed to trusting Him.
It may challenge you.βIt may stretch you.βIt may call for courage that you are not used to exhibiting, nevertheless, let go, and trust.β
Relinquish control, and give room for God to work.
Father God, I am not perfect in wisdom and understanding, but You are.βI lay it all at Your feet and trust Your guiding hand in holy surrender.βI pray for Your help through it all.β”Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven,” (Matthew 6:10). Amen.

You are the Rock
that we lean upon.
Better than the
glory of the rising sun.
You are the great
I AM THAT I AM.
Better than Moses,
the prophets, and Abraham.
You are my praise,
my comfort, my shield.
Better than any source
this world reveals.
You are the hope
in my soul, do I trust.
Better than man or plan,
designed or discussed.
It is You to which
none can compare,
for You are better than
anyone, anywhere.
A lot of things
we can appreciate
but You, O God,
are better in every way.
“Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord‘s name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.” Psalm 113:2-4
“Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.” Jeremiah 10:6-7
“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” Isaiah 45:5-7
The world calls out for our trust. Man pleads for us to put confidence in him. Even our own five senses beckon us to lean upon what we can feel, see, and touch.
But God is supremely better than them all. He is the Utmost beyond our utmost, and none can top, come near, or replace the joy and treasure found in the greatness of our God who is just better than.
