Devotion: Give it to God
Give it to God
1 Corinthians 10:13 ÔÇô No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
Hebrew 4:16 ÔÇô Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
We need to give everything to God, and then we can move from doubt to faith, from confusion to understanding, and from fear to hope. We need to seek God will and then wait for GodÔÇÖs answers, and accepted them.
We need to put our hope in God and experience His presence. In faith, we need to look beyond our present circumstances to God, placing our hope in GodÔÇÖs saving grace and absolute faithfulness. We need to set our heart and our eyes on God. Understand that it is acceptable to acknowledge the difficulty of our situations.
However, we need to focus our attention on God rather then on our circumstances. Remember that the circumstances will change, but God remains the same, Praise God. Put your hope in GodÔÇÖs ability to save you; He is present with you in even the most difficult of times. Choose to rejoice in the Lord, regardless of the way you feel. Trust that He will enable you to overcome.

1 Timothy 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
