Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.


For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. -Matthew 11:29-30


Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. -1 Peter 5:7


Happy AFTER Thanksgiving Day. The turkey has met its first demise, now the second countdown begins and the turkey appears in other forms, sandwiches, soups, and salads. 


Hopefully after a week the carcass is laid to rest and we release it for burial. But in the meanwhile you probably woke up to the smell of turkey and eggs lol. 


We must learn to totally release things, turkey included because what we are not willing to release for God is being placed in a position of being our god. 


Total release means physically, mentally and spiritually. The hardest part is mentally. Your grip must be loosened mentally to release it physically, but physically released doesn’t indicate full mental or spiritual release. 


Lot’s wife had physically left Sodom but not mentally nor spiritually, she had not totally released it. 


Saul had destroyed most of the accursed things but held on to “the best”,  showing he had not totally released it. 


Physical release means you are convinced that thing you hold onto is not good for you but you are not convicted and the saga continues. The continuance shows mental holding and for certain, spiritual holding still exist. 


Holding onto things says I am comfortable with it (sin), fear being without and even welcome it. This is why the only way to totally release things are to lay them and leave them at the feet of the Lord. 


This is given clarity by Jesus saying  His yolk is light and Peter later to cast all your cares on Him. 


On this day I encourage you to do so. All your fears, concerns, heartaches, leave them and pick up His yolk which is light.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
