Just this morning, I turned on the Karl and Crew show and the subject was peace and how to obtain it. Within that discussion was mentioned idols and I was swiftly reminded of how very easy it is to fall into the lies of the enemy and fall into worship of the very thing that we need to receive God’s peace in. In order to receive that peace, we have to give Him the gift of that surrender and sacrifice. If we hold on to it with a tight grip, we block ourselves from receiving that peace, which is what the enemy wants. The enemy wants us to be blind to all that God wants for us. God is good. His ways are perfect and good. But Satan wants us to believe we aren’t worthy or that we will never receive what we ask for or that it is taking too long. We give over to worry and despair and create an idol of those feelings and of the thing itself that we are asking of God, rather than rest knowing that He hears and sees and knows and has not forgotten us.

I admit, I have done this very thing. I have been in inner turmoil, trying to understand things that are not for me to understand. Trying to seek outcomes or see outcomes that aren’t prepared for me yet. Today, I am trying to walk in the peace of today, just letting God lead me to what He has for me right now because tomorrow He has new things that I am not prepared for yet.

He loves me and cares for me and will take care of my heart. ♥️
