Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

(James 4:7 ESV)

Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

(1 Peter 5:7 ESV)

There’s a song called, “Left It In The River” by Jamie MacDonald:

“My life was changed when I stepped into the water
Ain’t seen my chains since I gave ’em to the Father
Hallelujah, I’ve been delivered
Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?
I left it in the river
I left it in the river
Now, there’s nothing that can take this joy I’ve found
He raised me up and I ain’t coming down
He washed me clean and now there ain’t no doubt
He turned it all around.”

(Left It in the River by Jamie MacDonald)

Have you ever had a problem? How did you fix it? By yourself or did you go to God? I’ve had problems. I’ve tried to solve some myself but they never worked out very well. The ones I gave to God worked out a lot better. It might take some time but God is never late.

I had a problem yesterday. I kept thinking about Mom.  She has been home now for 17 years. But I still miss her even though I know she is happier in heaven than she was here.  But I want to encourage everyone who has a problem. Don’t try to fix it on your own. Give it to God and let Him work it out for you. He does a better job of it anyway. His plans are way better than ours.

Have a great day, everyone.
