Let It Go.....

³ The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.

Today’s Proverb makes my heart sad, because I know each one of us have found ourselves in opposition to the Lord.

Here our foolishness lands us in a situation where we are overthrowing our journey and standing in opposition to the Lord. Through our foolishness we are self- tormentors and we have sided with the enemy of our peace. Fretting is to be visibly worried or anxious. Our Proverb tells us that this is pure foolishness. It overthrows our journey and it topples our apple cart.  We stake ourselves against the goodness and the grace and the sovereignty of our God.

Do you ever feel like you are slipping down the “fretting” rabbit home, lost in the foolishness and not able to come up for air?  Ruminating and losing the battle.  Rumination is “the compulsively focused attention on the symptoms of one's distress, and on its possible causes and consequences, as opposed to its solutions. “

Guilty.

 I can get stuck in a frame of mind and keep playing things over and over.  (Enter the “Frozen” track, “Let It Go”.  )

Elsa gets me, look at her song:

“It's funny how some distance,

makes everything seem small,

and the fears that once controlled me,

can't get to me at all.

It's time to see what I can do.

To test the limits and break through.

No right, no wrong, no rules for me!

I'm free!”

I am free!  I serve a good righteous, sovereign God who has set His affections on me. Most of my fretting is about letting people down and them not liking me. ….let it go…….God loves me.

It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small…let it go……..distance from the situation, proximity to God.

The fears that once controlled me …..let it go…..if God is for me who can be against me?

Cant get to me at all….let it go….because my God is peace!

It’s time to see what I can do

To test the limits and break through

No right or wrong no rules for me….let it go…and release into His plans and His love.

I AM FREE.

This has been a public service announcement from God, Lisa and Elsa, reminding us all to place our cares with Him and let Him navigate their course.

Be Blessed and fret free today!!!
