Letting Go of the Good Things

Sometimes life demands a shift of focus and a change in our priorities in order that we might accomplish God's purpose in a given season of our lives.  Occasionally that means that we must step back from areas of Christian service or a well-paying job we love, which are good things that benefit others and give us joy, to seek the better things God has prepared for us, such as rest, time with our families, and the joy of getting to know Him just a little more intimately.



If you find yourself feeling a little restless or anxious in your spirit, ask God if there is something in your life that you may need to release in order to find the better thing He has for you.  Perhaps God is calling you to release a position of service or ministry that have meant so much to you in your Christian walk because He wants someone else to have the opportunity to serve and bless others.



Saying "I can't do this anymore, at least not now," doesn't mean we have failed or are no longer able to handle the heavy load of responsibilities we carry, but it does position us to better understand and do God's will.  The greatest joy we can experience as God's children is living in the center of His will.  There is no place I'd rather be!
