Today's Turning Point with David Jeremiah

Hand It Over

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Psalm 1 [ http://iz3.me/0Hnq2zeTx1A1 ]

The neck of a guitar with steel strings has a natural tendency to bend in on itself because of the strong tension of the strings, stressing the instrument over time. Similarly, our natural tendency when faced with challenges and tension is to fold in on ourselves. Challenging situations often feel as though they are tearing us apart and we find ourselves spiraling into worry and fear.

The solution for a guitar is a truss rod, which is a metal rod that runs along the neck of the guitar. The truss rod protects the guitar from being destroyed by tension. When difficulties test and threaten our faith, we have a truss rod of our own: Christ. He never changes: strong and secure. Jesus invites us to hand Him all of the burdens, tension, and any darkness we face and feel. He is not threatened by the tensions that tower over us. Just as a truss rod allows a guitar to create music despite and because of the tension, Christ promises to heal our brokenness, carry our burdens, and to give us a future and a hope. What will you trust Him with today?

You’re a soul made by God, made for God, and made to need God.
