Have you ever
felt as if you have been pulled to the farthest of your ability to
stretch? Felt as if you have bent over backward
so far that you could easily see where you have been? Or how about things being
so tight that you could not give another inch?
Well believe it or not those are all good signs. Yes...great signs. It
means that you are just about at the point of letting go. Not the kind of
letting go where you give up or give out, but the kind of letting go when you
give ‘over’. Give whatever it is over to
God. He has been patiently waiting of you
to exhaust yourself to the point where you will now Let Go and Let God!
What do you
think all of that sacrifice and torture was about those 2000 years ago? Why do you think Jesus bore those gruesomely
abusive stripes? Blood was shed and a
random paid and you were redeemed. Time
to cash in and God has been waiting. We must
not keep struggling to operate in our own strength or we will be guilty of
trying to negate the work of Jesus as the Savior of the world. We must let God be God and do his wonderful
Godly things of never sleeping; always protecting; healing; nurturing; teaching
and guiding. Sovereignty requires some really big shoes and you and I can in no
way even think about how to begin to fill them.
Let God – Be God. He is really
good at it and although you think you have the best answer let him do his
‘thang’.
An arrow by
itself, though sharp and full of potential, has very little power unless it is
pulled and positioned. The greater the
pull; the more the tension; the higher the angle; the farther the arrow will
fly. So if you feel like you have been
stretched to the limits of your patience, abilities and wits…guess what??? It
is time to soar. God knows just the
right amount of tension and resistance for you to bear; he knows where he wants
you to land and how much force it will take you to get there… Let God be God
and enjoy the flight.
Every day is
a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-packed GREAT day! Don’t be distracted;
stay focused on your purpose. Be
blessed! Dr. JoAnn
