Ever hear that phrase? Let go and let God. And guess what... letting go means letting go! We often fail at this. Perhaps that is because we need something to cling to. On top of telling ourselves to let go, we should also remind ourselves to cling -- cling to Jesus! Without that, we might find ourselves searching for something to look up to. If that thing isn't Jesus we are going to find ourselves wandering, weary, empty, and dry. Only when we turn to Jesus can we have true peace, fulfillment, hope, and joy. Not like what the devil throws at you -- an endless vicious cycle of delusion and torment! When our eyes are opened we can realize that the emptiness inside of us is meant for the Savior to fulfill. We were created to have a relationship with Him. He promises hope and peace and everlasting life. It's our responsibility to exercise faith that He is who He says He is.
Hebrews 11:1&6 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [...] But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Psalm 119:37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.
Psalm 119:18 Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.
Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
Psalm 27:13-14 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!
Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
