The Settling

Published on 14 August 2024 at 09:11

I am coming into a place of settling in the Lord.

I am learning to be ok with where He has me. 

I have accepted the low position God has placed me in. 

The new place I want to be in is not a striving for the promise land or the basking in the shower of blessings but in the settled place in the arms of Jesus.

I want to be at peace and rest safely hidden in Him.

No more chasing and striving only seeking and obeying.

Where was I trying to get to anyway? Wherever it was I know I would never arrive.

I am already at where I need to be, navigating the Kingdom with my Lord and Savior. It is here where I have peace. It is here where all my needs are met. It is here where I am whole.

So, I lay my will, my wants, my needs down before Jesus.

He is now my desire. My soul is lost in Him.

I am letting all life's worries and anxieties fade away.

I have made my request. I trust the Lord with them and cast them over to Him.

Now I am free to be God's. 

I will not live this life as one white-knuckling and striving to make it happen; whatever "it" may be.

I want to live by faith in God and faithfully for God.

I want to be, I am a, free, clean, pure devoted vessel for the use of the Father.

Gosh, even as I write this, I feel His presence wash over me and I just want to be His.

I want to throw this life away and get lost Him.

No longer will this world have its grip on me. 

I am fully letting go. If I perish, I perish but let me perish in the arms of Jesus

 

From Jesus:

Let it all fall away and what will be left is what I want to reveal to you...

 

 

Question of the day

Have you settled in the Lord?

Do you find yourself in His peace and His rest?

Are you still trying to hold on desperately to all the pieces of your life? Or have you let go and trusted God with them?

Today let it all fall away and fall into the arms of Jesus.

Scripture

1 Timothy 6:6-11
 

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
