total submission to God


this weekend i did something i have not done in a long time, i escaped from all my responsibilities. how did i escape? i knew the deadlines of everything that was in my life and i submitted and/or addressed everything that needed my attention. thereafter, i packed my bag,printed my boarding pass, and waited to leave. my soul, my heart, and my mind, was hungry for rest, restoration, revival. i was so happy for the chance to get away. i whispered to God. thank You for the airline special. thank You for the savings to pay for the rental car, food, and other necessities. my only goal was to go to the wilderness, to hear from God, to look for the burning bush. i prayed without ceasing to make sure that God knew the matters of my heart.

Psalm 116:1-2. i love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore i will call upon Him as long as i live.

have you ever bathed in God's Word? i mean meditate on the Word and allow the Word to speak life, convict, comfort, guide and order your steps. the Word of God is the Bread of life. God's Word can and shall meet all of our needs. the bible is filled with blessings, promises, covenants, and commandments. you will never know what they are unless you sit at God's feet daily. God is waiting for the fellowship.

God, we love You Lord. Lord, we are grateful that You hear our voice and our supplication. Lord, we rejoice in that You incline Your ear to the voice of our heart. God, we shall call upon You as long as we live. In Jesus' name, amen.
