Let It Go

 Let It Go

Luke 13:6-9

6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’”

Sometimes, we will not always get the victory. When we’ve done all that we know how to express our concerns about the unfair things that has happened to us. Even though we may have the evidence or proof to prove our innocence or claim in a matter and still the truth is not enough to vindicate our cause. It can be devasting to have endured a trial of some sort that has damaged our spirits, wiped the smile off our faces, taken the joy out of us for living and to see the injustice happening every day in the news is horrendous.  

How do we continue living at this point? We must turn to God’s Word and find the scriptures that speaks to our souls. The Word of the Lord is a balm in Gilead it is the spiritual medicine that we need to heal our broken hearts and spirits. The Word of God is healing us from our trauma, pain, troubles, worries, and quieting our hearts from the noise in the world so that our inner man can receive the messages that He is speaking to us.

When we study and read the Word the Holy Spirit is working to remove the scales from our eyes to help us to see how we’re blind by the things that we see in the physical world. Yet this is a lifelong process for the believer. There are principalities and wickedness and powers in high places, operating in darkness in the spirit realm in this age. Things are not always as they appear to be therefore, the Word of God says that we must put on the whole armor of God.

Many of us have no clear understanding of what it really means to put on the whole armor of God. First, we must understand that the battles, attacks, and strong holds we’re having are spiritual and certain disagreements leading to violence with people is not the real battle. They are only the vessels being used by these spiritual hosts of wickedness who are against God. Before we can engage in the fight, we must understand who we’re fighting and why we’re being targeted.

The armor is the Word of the Lord it is not any man-made artillery or physical weapon. The Word teaches us about truth what is considered truth in the kingdom of God, and it is certainly reliable when God stamps it as so. We are to seek His righteousness because it is a requirement for being a citizen in His kingdom for right living that pleases the Lord. We are to live in peace knowing what God’s Word have promised to us those who are called His. No matter who or what comes against us we must protect our faith. It is our shield which protects us from giving in to Satan’s plan which is to kill, steal and destroy us. He’s after our faith and the Word of God that’s planted within us.

We must let it go whoever has wronged us or didn’t love or accept us. The Lord has a better plan for us, and His love is everlasting. Ponder on knowing that Jesus lives, and He saves. He will vindicate the righteous the saints. All the hurt, suffering and pain is only for a while. We are sowing in tears now, but we shall reap joy. 

We are sojourners for only an appointed time. The seasons, trials, tests, and the struggles of life will eventually come to an end. However, that is not the end for the people of God. We shall stand on the Word of the Lord and let His glory be revealed in our faith as we trust in Jesus. Our hearts and spirits are witnessing through our faith that God is who He says He is. Hallelujah!

God is our judge, and He is fair in all His ways. Everything that we do and give to Him will not be forgotten.  We must pick ourselves up and dry our tears and believe by faith that the Lord will bring us out because we are His children. Let us ponder on these scriptures: Revelation 22:10-11 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” 2 Timothy 4:8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

There is something greater coming just hold on. It is written in His Word that He is the Prince of Peace and the Righteous Judge. We must stand on the Word and remember that God has counted us righteous when we believed by faith in His Son Jesus. Yes, Christ’s blood was the final payment to satisfy our sin debt with God. Jesus rose from the grave with all the power to grant us eternal life by grace through our faith.

We must, therefore, stand still and fight the enemy with the Word of the Lord when he comes to us with his lies, tormenting us about the things we’ve done wrong, working schemes, and treacherous plots against our lives. Let it go all the pasts hurt, sins, disappointments, and frustrations, because we’ve been forgiven by the Blood of the Lamb. Jesus is our advocate and wonderful counselor and worthy of our trust and faith in Him. There is no other god like Him. Revelation 19:11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

 

Let It Go

What good is it to sit and wonder?

What is and what will be is predestined

The journey that you’re on is called life

It has many ups and downs that never stops

Seasons come and go to prepare you

The things to come are greater than what’s been

Allow yourself to enjoy right now for what it is

When there’s peace savor every moment

Yesterday is a memory and today is all you have

The years are passing by as you learn to embrace it

Free your mind to receive the new things

Trouble don’t last always
