Positively Good Productions - Let Go, Let God

One of the most important

realities of life

is knowing to Whom we belong.

When we reject God’s Way, Will, and Timing

so that we can pursue our own way, will, and timing…

the consequences can be unpleasant

and sometimes catastrophic.

God's Word does not tell us to “Let go and let God.”

Letting go, in the sense of sitting back

and watching events unfold however they may,

is not biblical.

Letting go means letting go of the ego with its self-will,

its limited understanding, its preconceived ideas,

illusions, and mindsets.

Self-sufficiency ultimately leads to destruction.

In Job 8:12-15 Bildad speaks of the result of those who

forget God, "What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on

is a spider web. He leans on the web, but it gives way; he

clings to it, but it does not hold."

Thus, we see from Scripture that

depending on our own strength rather than God's...

is as foolish as leaning on a spider web for support.

The truth is that we are not equipped

to govern our lives on our own.

We need the help of the One who created us,

knows us, loves us, cares for us,

and gives the very best to those who

surrender the helm to Him.

We need the help of the One

who has power over life and death,

the One who hears our prayers, sees our tears,

restores our health, and blesses us with strength...

that we may have life to the fullest.

We have to understand that the things we are to do,

we do by the power of God

and not on our own puny abilities and achievements.

In other words... it is a major tragedy

when our pursuit for power and wisdom

stops short of God.

Think about it...

God is a treasure of power

and a treasure of wisdom

infinitely greater

than any of the things

that stir and excite us in this world!

May we let go of our self-forcing

way, will, and timing,

and allow God to manifest His Divine

Way, Will, and Timing in our lives.

God already knows what we desire,

God knows what's best for us

and God knows what is most appropriate for our soul.

God will by-far surpass our fondest dreams.

Our part is to surrender the self-will,

way, timing, and the outcome we desire,

and allow God's Will, God's Divine process to unfold.

We not only have an obligation to God,

but also to ourselves to discern and fulfill God's Way,

Will, and Timing for our lives.

It is only by making this a top priority

that we will find true joy,

the growth we truly desire, and the satisfaction

of an ultimately worthwhile existence on this earth.

There is nothing too hard for God.

God is able to produce immeasurably more

than we could ask or imagine.

God's Way, Will, and Timing far surpasses

anything that we could ever ask or imagine.

We all have been in situations

where we really felt weak, loaded down, and burdened...

unable to do anything to change our circumstances.

As we ask God for help,

let us be willing to follow God’s counsel...

harkening our inner ear,

seeing with our inner eye,

feeling with our innermost being,

and letting the unbelieving mind rest.

As we truly "Let go and let God"...

we will find exactly what we most need

for our mental, physical, and spiritual development.

God desires for us to engage and go and do.

But we must be humble and conscious

of our dependency... always on God.

There is no promise too hard

for God to keep.
