Surrender

1 Chronicles 28:20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and to the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly.”

You are my temple. Your life here is about building – perfecting – that temple. Do you not believe I will assist you in its construction, just as I did Solomon in building my Temple in Jerusalem? Do you not believe it is as important to me – if not more so – than a physical building? You are the Temple of My Holy Spirit. He indwells you. So it is of utmost importance that your body – your mind – your spirit – your soul – be whole and pure and worthy of His indwelling. That is the process of sanctification. Your continued “building” process – the daily improvement of the temple that is you. Your enemy would distract you. Keep you off the task of perfecting that temple. But that is the primary focus. Is your heart pure enough for My indwelling? Are your thoughts worthy to share with Me? Be strong. Be courageous. Do the work. I am helping you, for you cannot do any of it absent My help. I am with you. In this, as in all things. Look to Me as you look inside yourself critically. Look to Me as you address those things you observe that are not worthy of My presence. Look to Me and do not be discouraged. I will make a way. I will help you finish the temple. I will be with you in all of it and working alongside you throughout. See how I gave David specific details for construction of every part of the Temple – even down to the specific instructions of the gold meat hooks. Every little detail. Nothing was missing. Do you not believe I have the same details in mind when it comes to you? To your life? To your temple? I am consistent, Child. I do not bend or sway or change. My plans are detailed and perfect. Trust them. Trust Me to bring them to fruition in you. Just surrender. Remember the magnet you used to have on your refrigerator?  “Surrender Dorothy”. Well, you are right back there. Surrender. All if it. All the time. To Me. Will you? When you do, the work will continue full force.
