So this past week I would say that I got a real kick in the face by the Lord. My eyes were really opened up to the fact that I was holding on to somethings in my life that really aren't mine to hold onto and I've been holding on to "my rights". I was really humbled and awakened by the Lord. I realized that I needed to let go of these things and give them up to the Lord. I realized that these things that I had been clinging on so much to where hindering my walk with the Lord because I wanted it my way. So I decided to take this death grip off of some of these things I had been holding onto even though this I will admit scared me a bit. The beauty of it all though afterwords was I felt relief. It's amazing what happens when you just trust and obey what the Lord is asking. He is so very faithful!!
Here are a couple of verses that the Lord really used to really speak to me:
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless."-Psalm 84:11
"I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.[a] For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith."- Phiippians 3:7-9
Also the Tenth Avenue North Song "Let it Go" also played a big part. I'm just amazed by God and His grace that He has lavished upon up us.
