In Touch Devotional 20 September 2021 | The Freedom of Relinquishment

DR CHARLES STANLEY IN TOUCH DEVOTIONAL MONDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2021

TOPIC: THE FREEDOM OF RELINQUISHMENT

TODAY’S MESSAGE: We may think we have no attachments that come between us and the Lord, but He knows our heart better than we ourselves do. One Sunday as I was about to preach a sermon along those lines, God showed me something I had prioritized too highly. Then He let me know I needed to reconsider the place it held in my thinking. So I was glad when the choir’s song took a while, because I had time to come to the place of being able to say, “Lord, if that’s what You desire, I want to commit it to You. It’s Yours right now.”

NSPPD Live Today 20 September 2021 With Pastor Jerry Eze

It’s difficult to be obedient if we’re holding onto something too tightly. The Lord wants our attachment to be exclusively to Him so we can shine His light in the world. You may have multitudes of things that God has blessed you with, but the moment any of it controls you, His work is stunted. When you open your hands, however, you allow the Holy Spirit’s power to flow freely through you.

Think about what captivates you, and honestly consider whether it also enslaves you. Is there anything you feel you could never give up? I challenge you to release the relationship or situation to the Lord right now so He can have your full devotion.

Bible in One Year: Joel 1-3
