A Beautiful Exchange
I love it when I get a fresh revelation about a Scripture, especially if it's one that I've heard again and again. Today in my Bible study, one of the questions was, "Is there something you might need to let go of in order to have the freedom to say yes to God?" I was pondering this question and reading comments on the OBS blog when I came across several comments about Jeremiah 29:11. It's a popular verse, but I realized that it contained my answer.
I could say that fear, uncertainty or even insecurity could limit my freedom to say yes to God, but I realized that a BIG issue was my need for control. Here's what I wrote in my journal:
Lord, have your way in me and give me a yes-heart, no matter what you ask of me. I surrender my plans to you today. #sayyestoGod #palmsup

ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenna, sometimes the verses become such a familiar 'voice', I just walk right past them. Your entry made me want to feel the wonder, and read them like if it was the first time. Thank you for sharing your journal!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we get good "holy smacks" several times from one verse! Glad the verse caught your eye!
