What You Will Get
"And thou—thou seekest for thee great things—do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh—an affirmation of Jehovah—and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest." Jeremiah 45:5
This is a firm and unshakable truth for those who trust in the Lord—
"I will give your life to you as a prize."
Nothing matters more than this! Not possessions, not blessings, not even the things we think are "great" in life. Those things will come and go, but our life in Christ is secure—untouchable, unshaken, hidden in Him.
The Test of True Surrender
"Are you prepared to let God take you into total oneness with Himself, paying no more attention to what you call the great things of life?"
That question hit me hard.
Do I truly trust Him? Or am I still holding onto my own ideas, my own expectations, my own sense of control?
The true test of surrender is when I stop asking "what about this?" and simply trust.
-
No more questioning.
-
No more speculating.
-
No more trying to figure out how God will work things out.
If I completely surrender, He will give me my life as a prize.
And that’s the most freeing place to be!
The Passport Reminder
God has been keeping the passport idea in front of me, and I know it’s not a coincidence.
-
P strongly encouraged us to get one—saying all Christians should have one.
-
A called, needing help with his passport application.
-
We helped A move, and he showed us his newly arrived passport.
-
Driving past Walgreens, and what’s on their sign? Passport photos available.
Okay, Lord, I hear You loud and clear!
I keep thinking, "But I don’t have the money to process it..."
And I feel like God is saying, "Just fill it out in faith and trust Me with the rest."
So that’s what I’ll do.
Lord, I surrender even this.
I will walk in obedience, even when I can’t see how it will all come together.
You are my provider. I trust You!
