The Lines Have Fallen

There are times when we go through circumstances that don’t always make sense. In trusting the whole counsel of God both day and night, we can be assured that whatever comes, when we take the stand of praising the LORD in spite of it, we can rest in peace knowing our one true inheritance surpasses any earthly affections we may have.

This verse has been a constant reminder to me over the past 2 years. I am constantly learning to stop looking outward at earthly things or the attitude and actions of others, but inward in the secret places of the heart, my heart, and giving it fully to God.

What are you holding on to that is causing you heartache? Open your palms and let go of it. Picture that, your arms outstretched, palms open, full surrender. As a believer the promise of knowing that God has what’s best for you for all eternity, despite what it looks or feels like, is all you need. What a way to praise Him!
