Let Go and Let God!

 

Are you currently in a battle with someone? Maybe it’s a family member, neighbor, employee or employer, a contractor….the list is endless. Whatever this person or company has done to you, you want to push back, reflect the pain back on them that they’ve caused you, anything you can to control the situation. Does this strike a nerve? I’ve got both hands raised right now.

 

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

 

Whether you realize it or not, God always has a plan for each and every child of God. He often uses us as a tool in the lives of others. As Christians, we are to be a reflection of the love of Jesus Christ. There are too many scriptures about Jesus character to list in today’s blog, but a few come to mind….turn the other cheek, love and pray for your enemies, assume your lowly position.

 

When we accept our position in Jesus Christ, and look to Him for strength, we can navigate the battle at hand and let God work in the situation. When we try to take hold and manage the battle, we take the battle out of God’s hands. I can tell you from personal experience, you’ll never win the battle by your own strength.

 

You’ve got to “Let God and Let God” take control of the battle. When you do, He might ask you to forgive that person, pray for that person, even help that person. Yes, help your enemy. Its all part of God’s plan for your life and most likely for your enemy. 

Whatever or whoever you are battling today, Let Go and Let God take control. His plan, His ways, His thoughts are much higher than yours. He knows what’s best. As you remain obedient, He will shower you with blessings and bring resolution to your battle! Let Go and Let God!
