THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

RELEASE THE PAST AND THE FRUSTRATION OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND EVERTHING

We all encounter disappointments, setbacks, and things that BAFFLE us. Perhaps you PRAYED for a loved one who didn’t recover, or you worked diligently for a PROMOTION that you didn’t receive. You may have had faith in a RELATIONSHIP that ultimately failed. One of the best ACTIONS is to let GO. RELEASE it and stop PONDERING over it. Dwelling on WHY things didn’t work out only leads to bitterness, resentment, and self-PITY. It can result in blaming others, yourself, or even GOD. The situation may be incomprehensible or seem UNFAIR, but RELEASING it is an act of FAITH. By DOING so, you’re declaring, “God, I trust in YOU. I know You are SOVEREIGN. And although it didn’t go as I HOPED, You PROMISED that ‘all things work together for GOOD.’ Therefore, I believe You STILL have good things planned for my FUTURE.”

There is POWER in releasing the past and the frustration of trying to UNDERSTAND everything. Letting go of your QUESTIONS means you’re entrusting control to GOD, affirming your TRUST in Him. It’s in placing your hope in GOD that He can mend your HEART and guide you towards TRIUMPH and your true DESTINY.

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.

Philippians 3:13, KJV
