*Release Yourself Into God's Hands*
_1 Corinthians 2:7-9 (NIV)_
_No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”_

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.”_
One reason why many believers give half-hearted service and commitment to God is because somewhere in their minds, they are not sure of where God is taking them and/or the good that will result from sacrificial fellowship, service and commitment to God. Child of God, I want to encourage you that you are not wasting your time in your fellowship, service and commitment to God. God loves you so much and He has very great, unimaginable and glorious things in store for you; things men have not seen, heard of or considered. As you release more of yourself into God's hands by giving your all to Him, He will prepare you and bring you into the experience of those things. God has never failed before and He will not fail you.
The plans that God has for you are plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future, Jer.29:11 (NIV). There is a great hope laid up before you and God's mighty power is available to you. In the same way that Apostle Paul did in Ephesians 1:18-20 (NIV), “I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms. There is a hope for you both in this life and in eternity, Mark 10:28-30. I pray that divine hope fills your heart today and cause you to be more fervent in your walk with God and your service unto Him.
PRAYER:
Enlighten my heart, Dear Lord, with the great hope that You have in store for me. I receive Your grace to be more committed to you.
Enlighten my heart, Dear Lord, with the great hope that You have in store for me. I receive Your grace to be more committed to you.
