JUST FOR TODAY: Despair or Hope?? The choice is YOURS!!!

JUST FOR TODAY: There have been some rough times for some this week.  Must say I've had my own share this week.  So what are we going to do about it??  We have two choices: we can "give up" or we can "surrender" and these two words DO NOT mean the same thing.  When we "give up", we throw our hands up in the air, give in to preoccupation with our problems, and fall into the pit of self-pity.  That's when we let the powers of this world overtake us.  BUT, when we "surrender" to the Lord Jesus, we "pray without ceasing" and cast our problems and burdens on Him.  Praying brings us into the presence of the Lord and in His presence there is also much POWER.  In fact, ALL Power belongs to Him.  So instead of being overwhelmed and overtaken by the powers of this world, by the mighty Power and Presence of God Almighty we can be lifted up above our circumstances into the realms of Peace!!  Will you choose to "give up" and be overtaken today or will you choose to "surrender" to Jesus and be an overcomer??     My prayer for you today is that the God of Peace will set you aside comepletely from all worries and cares and that He will protect and preserve you completely; spirit, soul, and body. Amen.  Please Worship at the church of your choice this week-end.  ~Pastor Lynn  (1 Thessalonians 5:17,23)
