Pastor’s Pen
“Have you brought this to the Lord,” I asked? “Oh no, I am too ashamed. I don’t want Him to know,” was the reply. What does God not know? Psalm 139 says He is familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, the Lord knows it completely.”
I love that I can bring anything and everything to the Lord. He already knows, so I am not going to surprise Him. When you bring it to Him, He will never shame you. He never goes, “are you kidding me?” Romans 10:11 says, 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
What is so awesome about bringing anything and everything to Him; He not only offers strength, peace, and forgiveness – He offers a strategy for victory, for deliverance and for a way through. Philippians 4:6 indicates that we should tell God every detail of our lives, like He doesn’t know anyway! The result will be peace, with wisdom and help to journey through victorious.
I can’t wait to see you this weekend.
