Message for April 10, 2022 from Pastor Shirley

   “Let go and let God” is a catchy phrase.  I have used this phrase in sermons just to get a point across. I have never read this actual phrase in the Bible though.                                    

     As believers should we just confess “let go and let God”. Then do nothing, say nothing, feel nothing and allow circumstances to just take over however they may.  Absolutely not!

     As humans control is the hardest thing to give up because without it we feel helpless. Only when we choose to “let it go and let God” do we truly find freedom.  Maybe it would be better to say, “Letting go and let God.”  This is something we will be learning as long as we are alive on this earth.  We want things in our time, our way.

     The word tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6  “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own.  Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all.
