Letting Go of My Circumstances

I have felt for so long now that I couldn't see Jesus in my current circumstances. I didn't understand why I was going through this time in my life that seemed so impossible, so hard, so overwhelming. Well, God hit me over the head with the realization that I need to cast off all of the current cirumstances and just completely focus on Him no matter what is going on around me.

Oswald Chambers couldn't have put it better:
"If you are truly recognizing the Lord then you have no business being concerned about how and where He engineers your circumstances. The things surrounding you are real, but when you look at them you are immediately overwhelmed, and even unable to recognize Jesus. Then comes the rebuke, "...why did you doubt?" (Matthew 14:31). Let your actual circumstances be what they may, but keep recognizing Jesus, maintaining complete reliance upon Him."

Those words totally spoke to my heart, especially today, tears of conviction and then of happiness ran down my face reading this. Thank you Lord for reaching my right where I am.

It's time to "be reckless immediately-totally unrestrained and willing to risk everything-by casting your all upon Him."

Isaiah 26: 3-4 - "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength."

Thank you Lord! All praise and glory be to You!
