Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6


The focus this week in my class "Cleansing Streams" was about learning to commit everything to God.

So often in our walk with the Lord we quickly forget that he needs to be the leader, and you the follower. When you commit everything to God you can not do so half heartedly. I myself tend to try and take lead, and that very action always leads me down a wrong path. Allowing him to have full reign is really essential in your walk with God. Trusting that he should and will direct your path is so very important.

Another thing i learned was that when you turn it all over to him you will keep growing, experience rest and shine His light to those around you.

I learned that if i keep all problems, and direction (what I should commit to God) in my hands "I get what I can do.... my ability, my talent, my effort, my energy, my strength, and my reasoning."

If I put things in others hands (another human person such as my husband)"I get what others can do... their gifting and abilities may be different from mine, but it is still going to be limited to the best they can do."

If I give everything to God.. "I get what God can do."

I have loved the Lord most of my life, but I have never truly trusted him fully. I have never allowed him to carry all my burdens, or even all my everyday doings, for fear that I was not able to run my own life and that it would be looked upon by others as a weakness.

Now I realize that it is not weakness at all to give over all I was, all I am, and all I can be to the Lord. It is having enough wisdom and maturity to see that I am nothing when I walk alone. When I walk with in the light of God I am everything.......
