Have You Checked In Your Baggage?

What is release?   What does it really mean to give something to God?   Are you still trying to control what you say you have released to God?   Are you still trying to figure it out or work it out?  

That's me.....
I sometimes think I have let situations or circumstances go   That I have put it in the hands of God and some how, some way, I end up worrying or getting frustrated about the "thing or things" I supposedly gave over to Him.   

Worry, frustration, dissension, strife are good indications that you are still carrying a burden that you were not created to bear.   That you have not really given it over to God or that you have picked it back up again.   That God is not really in control   When God is in control of a situation, you will have peace in every area.   Rest for your soul (your mind, will, and emotions).....instead of worry and doubt.  

When God is in control, you understand that everything in this physical realm is temporal and you don't live in the "moment" of temporary affliction.   Instead you step into the place of eternity with God.  You step into "the knowledge" of who God is and what God has said and you dwell there.  

I am not saying that it is easy to do.   I am saying that you have to keep your mind stayed on God.   On the fact that He is all sufficient and that He knows your needs.   That He knows everything that concerns you.   That He knows everything that frustrates you and causes you to lose heart and want to give up and quit.  

You have to understand that He knows where He has destined you to be.   For it is He who has predetermined your destination and it is He who wants to carry your load while you are getting there.   When you are trying to get from one destination to another (like in an airport) and you are carrying your own "baggage" it slows you down.   You need to check the baggage in (give it to God) so that you can get to where you are going without the worry and stress of carrying the extra load.   When you don't have the worry and stress of carrying the extra stuff.....you will get to your destination much faster.
