#177 - GOD'S RESPONSIBILITY

God takes full responsibility for the life that is wholly devoted to Him. – Charles Stanley

This encourages me.

There are so many days when I ask myself…

How am I going to do it all?
When is it all going to get done?
Why am I doing it in the first place?

There are so many days when I wonder…

Are my motives pure?
Am I in over my head?
Am I doing what God wants me to do?

There are so many days when I feel like…

I never should have started.
I never should have committed.
I never should have left the security of my full time job.

Can you relate?

But it is in these moments that I have to remind myself…

My life is committed to Christ.
My intention is to glorify God in all that I do.
My goal is to complete the work I have been created to do.

This is the truth.

And though it has not always been like this, today I can say with confidence that…

My life is wholly devoted to Him.

And so what exactly does this mean?

My needs are God’s responsibility.
My results are God’s responsibility.
My desires are God’s responsibility.

The way is God’s responsibility.
The plan is God’s responsibility.
The means is God’s responsibility.

Why?

Because…

God takes full responsibility for the life that is wholly devoted to Him. – Charles Stanley

And just in case you needed Scripture to provide the validity of the statement above…

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6

And for someone who, often times, feels shackled by the commitment to fulfill God’s purposes for my life…

These truths free me.
