1 John 1:9 (KJV) – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Each of
us has an appointed mission and God’s gifts, talents and our acquired skills
are all a part of the formula for us to use in completing the work that we
have been assigned. Our journeys may be
different and the ease or difficulty may range from rosy to stifling, but
nevertheless God is in control and his grace is sufficient for our purposes.
When
we take on God’s job and many of us do on a daily basis, God is a gentleman and
he will take his hands off and step aside.
He will not fight you to take care of you. He will not argue or be belligerent. When we step outside of our anointing and
cozy up to things that are not a part of our concern we derail and possibly
endanger ourselves, our progress and our success. As we know in physics and geometry, a simple
change in an angle at the beginning can lead to a wide variation or distortion
at the end. I have learned to not take
the reins out of God’s hands for the devil will take those very lead lines and
try to wrap them around our own necks until we will feel choked and subdued. Let God be God and don't be an impostor.
Thank
you God for loving us so much that you not only sent your son to redeem us and solidity
our salvation, but you allow us to surrender our lives to you. Thank you for taking such awesome care of us.
We confess our sin of trying to be in control and we are grateful that as
today’s scripture says – you are faithful in forgiving and cleansing. Use us Lord; use us for your glory.
Every
day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day! Don’t be distracted; stay on your purpose. Be
blessed. Dr. JoAnn
