THAT THING
Today's reading:  1 Kings 1-4

"Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the instructions of his father, David, except that..." 1 Kings 3:3 NLT

I've thought about my 'thing' this morning. 

My hang-up.  My burr under the saddle.  My struggle.  My temptation.  My failing.  My sin.

If I were to give that 'thing' to God, allow Him to completely take it, re-make me and hold my hands under the faucet of His grace and assist me in washing it away--what a difference there would be in my life.

I wouldn't have the shadow of its effect on my life constantly behind or before me.

I wouldn't have the weight of its burden to carry around.

I would be free of its constricting and confining chains.

I would have nothing separating me from my Father's blessing, purpose and will.

That 'thing' is holding me back.

No more.  No, thanks!
