Lorelie Desear | 27 y.o | Manila, Philippines | Jesus The Gospel Church International | This life left me feeling as though I had no self-worth, no value and no one to turn to. But JESUS CHRIST made me realize that I have greater worth than gold and taught me to never again find fault to what He has so fearfully and wonderfully made. I am created to go far, to go & preach the Gospel to all nations. I am infinitely thankful because God redeemed me from the empty way of life. My past doesn't define my worth or value. I am defined by who I am now in Christ. 💕💕💕 IG: loreliecastil | twitter: @loreliecastil

“When God’s in it… it flows. When the flesh is in it… it’s forced. If He is in it, it’s remarkable how approval will be granted, how a growing interest will percolate, and how the timing will fall right into place. It will come together almost in spite of you.”
—Charles Swindoll
Get God involved! Don’t force things to happen.

🔴 Take your hands off
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
— Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
The Hebrew word translated “be still” actually means, “take your hands off.” God is saying to us, “Take your hands off, and let Me be God in your life.” So often we want to manipulate and control. We talk about those who are “hands on” people.
In the Christian life, God uses our hands. He used Noah’s hands to build the ark. He used David’s hands to kill a giant. He used the apostles’ hands to feed 5000 people. But sometimes only God’s hand can do the job. Sometimes our hands get in the way because we are manipulating, plotting or scheming.
A friend of mine used to remind me, “Faith is living without scheming.” Whenever I discover myself pushing and prodding, God says to me, “Take your hands off. Be still, and know that I am God.” The difference is simply this— If we play God in our lives, everything is going to fall apart. But if we let Him truly be God in our lives, He will be exalted. He will be with us and He will get the job done.
Are you facing a problem or a challenge today? Are you wondering what you will do? Give it to the Lord. A time will come when He will say, “Alright, I will use your hands.” But until then, keep your hands off. Know that He is God. He does not expect us to do what only He can do. We can roll the stone away from the tomb of Lazarus, but only He can raise the dead. We can hand out the bread, but only He can multiply it. Let Him be God in your life.
—Warren W. Wiersbe
