Salvation comes from the Lord.

I just have to share the Bible verses I read tonight. I opened my Bible and it took me to Isaiah 40:10. " So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

So much of the time I want to do things my way. I do not put my trust in God. I think I do a better job at making decisions for my life than God does. I know that I am going to have to let God be in control in order for me to find my true purpose. For those that are reading my blog, I ask that you pray for me during my Faith Zone Challenge. Help me to let God be in control of my life. For those that respond to my blog please know that I am praying for you also.

Now my Bible reading did not stop there. I said to myself, "Well, I wonder what tidbit of knowledge God will show me now?" I turned a few pages and stopped at Jonah 2:8-9. (We are all famililar with Jonah and the Whale.)

Jonah 2:8-9 "Those that cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the Lord."

Well now if that was not a slap in the face. Do you know what your worthless idol is? Unfortunately I know what mine is, money. I want to spend my money on what I want. This verse is telling me in order to find my purpose I must give up my worthless idols and spend more "quality" time with the Lord. After all Jonah tells us, "Salvation comes from the Lord."

It is my prayer that you will let God be in control of your life, not your worthless idols.
