Deity became tangible
Spirit became visible
Love became personal
Peace became possible
Grace became feasible
Mercy became available
Truth became verifiable
Glory became undeniable
Sin became forgivable
Death became defeatable
Sorrow became replaceable
Victory became obtainable
Heaven became accessible
‘Life’ became livable
(Satan became miserable)
And all because of JESUS
The wonderful
The incredible
The indescribable
One!

–David Ravenhill

 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11 NKJV

 Live carefree before God; He is most careful with you. I PETER 5:7 The Message

 Recently, I was given the advice of a wise, elderly man. It was simply this: give it to God and go to sleep.

Through the years he’d learned that when his head hit the pillow, the cares of life seemed to bear down. The mind can be the hardest thing to put to bed at night—so he determined to get in the habit of saying what he believed and shutting it down. After all, God’s not going to sleep. He’s paying attention. He’s making provision. He’s keeping promises. He’s preparing the way.

It’s easy to let the recorder from the day, the week, the month, start running through our minds when we finally settle down from our busy days. For some reason, it’s much more difficult to hit the ‘stop’ button. But we need to get in the habit of these eight short words: give it to God and go to sleep.

There will always be things to think about, worry about, plan for, be sorry for…but unless all is put in God’s able hands, it soon becomes a weight for our hearts. We don’t get to keep an ounce of burden.

Everything must be let go to Him for anything to go right.

In the powerful words of Oswald Chambers…The child of God will never think of anything the Heavenly Father will forget.
