Romans 11:36 “For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen.”
This is a great reminder of who God is and that everything is His. We get caught up in what is ours when in fact nothing is. We have things because God has made and provided these things. When we can understand this we can let go of the control we think we need and let the Spirit lead us in all areas of our lives. We must remember that we are never alone the Spirit is in us to help, guide, comfort and strengthen us in our walk to glorify God. When we realize that everything is from God we hold on to things much more loosely and we are not controlled by them. This makes a huge difference in how we take care of our money and how we deal with our kids and what we think we need to be happy. Our focus should be on living and growing to be like Christ so all we do is to glorify the Father. Think about something in your life that is in your grasp so tight that your knuckles are white. Then ask the Spirit to take that from you and give it to God because it is His. Then start working every day to release more and more of yourself and receive more and more of the Spirit so you hear Him loud and clear. Say thank you God for loving me so much that you gave your Son to give me a way to you. Thank you so much for giving me the Holy Spirit to guide me to you. Help me give you the glory in everything I do. Amen
