Fully Surrender

Those who still reject me are like the restless sea. . . . There is no peace, says my God, for them!
—Isaiah 57:20,21 (TLB)

Searchlight Words:
At first glance, these words appear to be a warning, however, from my perspective, they are just stating common sense. It is in the Lord we find peace, so when people are living on their own terms apart from the Lord, in whom shall they place their trust? In their earthly belongings that break, rust, and disintegrate? In people whom grow old and wither or die? In false idols, spirits, or demons that are innately corrupt? All things here on earth are subject to fail. Why would you want to rely on such things or anyone but He who CANNOT die or wither or fail? The Lord has been proving himself already for thousands of years.

Proverbs 3:5-6. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

More from Searchlight
Lord, I ask that you convict my spirit and allow me to see and identify the things that draw my attention from you. Give me the strength to put away all things that set myself apart from you. It is with you that I find ultimate peace and joy and therefore, all other things are made dim in your light. AMEN
