The Art of Submission

Good Morning! No matter what time of day it is, I welcome you. As I am enjoying a bit of warmer day today, I am also aware of the winter closing in on me. It's kind of a lonely place in a way. The garden, that is. Everything is sleeping and getting ready for the big kick off in a few months! I like to read Psalms when I get a little down or discouraged or even lonely. “Psalms is divided into 5 books…It teaches us so much about God’s eternal love and care for us and how we should trust Him even in the day to day experiences of life.” Quoted from a footnote in my NIV Life Application Bible, which I got for myself during the Women in Missions retreat this past year. You can say, “Yeah, I know. Trust Him with everything.” How many times have you heard it? How often do you APPLY it is the real question! You can say how you have tried and you can even say that you DO trust Him with everything. However, also keep in mind that “He knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalm 44:21b
I would like to challenge you to begin looking for the point of surrender in your heart. To give you a visual, go to your most quiet place and lie down. Not on your back, but on your belly. Face down, hands outstretched, open your heart and let everything go.
