Daily Thoughts - The Gift
What do you give power to in your life? Is it God or is it fear? I listen to Jesus speak this morning and watch the reactions of the servant living in fear. It is his own words that condemn him. He has not accepted the gift of God, his focus was on the fear, on the what ifs, on the lack of, not realizing it is the Gift that brings about all the transformation.
"Then the other servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your gold coin; I kept it stored away in a handkerchief, for I was afraid of you, because you are a demanding person; you take up what you did not lay down and you harvest what you did not plant.'" Luke 19:20-21

Who brings fear into our world? The devil. You know his words, not worthy, not good enough, who do you think you are. There are many of them yet the Gift tells us we are worthy, He gave it to us. We are good enough, He gave it to us. He knows who we are, the child of the King, it is His Kingship that He gives away. Listen to yourself and understand which voice is louder in your life. Give the glory to God and trust in Him. The Gift and fear can not reside together for very long.
Dear Lord God, I have watched You banish fear from my life, nothing I have done other than listen to You in daily prayer. You have revealed truth to me, You have helped me see the why in some situations which has brought about understanding and acceptance. The Gift has multiplied and continues to do so. May I honor You this day in all that I do for I know You are demanding and I know it is You that brings it about, not I other than my obedience and acceptance. In Jesus name, Amen.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
