People often say, “I try to do so-and-so, but I fail.” The explanation for their failure is contained within the words themselves. You should never “try”; you should “let” – let God. When you “try” to do things, you are working from the outside. When you let God do them through you, you are working from the inside and success must come.
If you will reread the creation chapter in the Bible you will notice that God creates by “letting.” God said “let,” at every act of creation, and it was done. Now God creates by means of you if you will let him, but you must let. Someone said, “Let go and Let God,” and this is a wonderful recipe for overcoming fear or getting out of a tight place. In any case, the rule for creation is always to let.
Is any thing too hard for the Lord? (Genesis 18: 14).
This is one of the most important truths to be read in our daily devotional. It is when we become an expression of God’s will that God works through us. We must let go of the idea that we control things except ourselves. And it is when we relinquish self-control to God that God turns power and potential into reality in the physical plane through us. We are to become instrumentalities of God if we are to express God’s existence in our reality here below. The first step is to empty ourselves in order that God may act in and through us. Then we must follow God’s will in all our ways. It is then that God lets our gardens grow into the Edens they were intended to be. It is then that God looks at our lives and says “it is very good!”
Letting go,
