Giving It Over To God
By J. Allen Wilson

There comes a time in everyone’s life that we must learn the true meaning of letting go and by faith give it over to God. Often this is easier said than done. Yet trust is the key here…you either trust God to carry the burden, or you don’t. Again, and I reiterate, it is easier said than done. In less than two weeks the company that I have worked twenty plus years for will be laying off another forty five workers. Word has it that they are to keep some of the younger and more talented workers thus weeding out those who like I who have some age on them and their usefulness to the company has come and gone. It is greed that and the love of money that has soured this, our great land. I cannot change it…but my God can.

I admit my weakness and this bothered me to the point of a spiritual sickness, which will manifest itself into one that is physical. Tonight I had to at last acquiesce. I had to surrender and humble myself before the Lord giving it all to Him. For He says in His word, that we are to lay our troubles at His feet. He says that His grace is sufficient, and that we are to put our trust in Him and not man. Am I concerned? Why yes, for I am human, and being human I am weak, yet by faith and faith through Him I am made strong. I have for years sacrificed time away from family for this company. I have lost so much precious time that I shall never regain from those whom I have loved, and to what profit? Whether I stay or go is no longer a concern to me, for this is bigger than I am, yet my God is even bigger, and He shall make my way if I only truly let go and Give it over to Him.

Giving It Over To God

 

Knots like baseballs form in my stomach as the weeks of a lifetime draw to a close.

Anxiety and depression steal my joy at the very thought of from my work being let go.

Dedicated I’ve been, yet with me and all, we have to this face someday our last call.

For months I have seen the signs; I hear the rumble of thunder and see the handwriting on the wall.

 

I have fought the good fight with all my human might.

Yet I shall not even come close to a victorious win.

That is, and unless, and unto to the Lord God I give in.

 

Thus tonight I have in my spirit turned this battle over to my God.

I am nothing but dust; I am just a whisper on the ever-present wind.

Yet He is my God, and I must learn to trust Him until the end.
