Holding On...In Order To Let Go

In life we are presented with two simplistic choices...right and wrong. All said and done the bottom line is right and wrong, good vs. bad or yin and yang if you will. The next step is who dictates what is right and what is wrong? Who decides all this and for us? Essentially there is one who does and did decide all this. God! However, the trickiness begins when God enemy, Satan, masks himself as an angel of good and tries oh so hard to dupe us into making the wrong decision when it is seems it is actually the right one. So how do we know that the decisions at hand in our life are from God or Satan? This is tough because the only way to know is when you are with God, reading His Word, being with His people and so on.

You see when stop to be still and know that God knows precisely what he wants to do with your life it makes things a bit easier to swallow. The hardship comes is when we choose to go off track to fulfill our inner lusts of our hearts and indulge in pleasure from this world. As the title of this blog states -"Holding On...In Order To Let Go". What is it or better yet, who is it that you are holding into? Is your life in chaos and disorder, when you start making decisions based on emotions, or you become super self introspective? I can't begin to tell you the most difficult step to do in order to get out of that rut, but the step is.... create time to be with your Heavenly Father, ask for help, learn to accept who you are and embrace where God has you.

James 1:2-5 (NLT)
2
Dear brothers and sisters,s when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. 5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
