Faith,  Fear,  God's Plan,  Perseverance

Hang on

Hanging on to what I know to be true:

  1. God is in control.

I’ve white knuckled what I have no authority over for too long. It’s time to loosen the grip. 

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Psalm 23:4 
  1. God is love.

Resentment and bitterness do not look like the heart of Christ, the Father or the fruit of the Spirit, but clouds and reaps the fruit of chaos in my own heart.

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

Ephesians 4:31-32
  1.  There is breath in my lungs, therefore there is purpose in my life.

As long as we are living, the body of Christ needs us to be who God created us to be – pursuers of mercy, justice, humility and love.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with you God?”

Micah 6:8

Hang on, friends.
