Let Go and Let God

It’s been a minute, but guess what? We’re back with another story! A couple of months ago, I was driving home, blasting some loud music. Did I mention that two-thirds of my trunk had speakers? So, even though I was listening to worship music, it felt like I was experiencing it in all caps. Saying it was loud doesn’t even do it justice, but I was enjoying every second of it while trying to navigate through the crazy Nairobi traffic.

When I reached Braeburn School, I was supposed to take the first left turn onto Naivasha Road. No sooner had I turned than I noticed my temperature gauge climbing faster than Kipchoge Keino’s sprint time. Then, there was a loud bang and a sudden rush of steam from my engine.

My first instinct was to shut the car off completely. Just then, a police officer directing traffic told a few young guys to help me push the car off the road. My next move was simple—you guessed it—I called my husband, told him where I was, and explained what had happened. He reassured me he’d be there as soon as possible.

I stayed in the car, not even bothering to open the hood and try to figure out what was going on. I just waited patiently for my knight in shining armor while the bystanders offered their unsolicited advice.

When my husband finally arrived, I gave him the rundown once more. Without wasting any time, I got into his car and drove off, leaving him with the broken-down vehicle as I headed home. 

This morning, God reminded me of this experience. What I’ve shared is just one of many where, once my husband arrives, I simply drive off in his car without a second thought—no concern for the time or what’s wrong with mine. I know he’s more than capable of handling any issue that comes up, and by the next morning, I can be sure my car will be parked in its spot, ready for me to start my day.

As I pondered on that, am reminded of what God says in

Psalms 55:22

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

The art of casting, it's about releasing your concerns and anxieties to God and acknowledge that He is capable of handling them. The emphasis is to rely on God's strength, recognizing that you cannot carry your burdens alone and a declaration of faith that God will provide the strength and resources you need 

The reason I call my husband to help with the car is simple—because he cares for me. He doesn’t mind, and you know what? So does God. He doesn’t mind those calls when you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, when you’re alone in a dark place, and nothing seems to be working. Just dial "911" to Heaven, and God will be there to rescue you. Remember, you don’t need to look back and wonder if He will fix your "broken car" or not. Simply cast your burdens on Him and let Him be God.  You'll wake up to a miracle staring you right in the face at His own time. 

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

  "What's the most remarkable aspect of being married?" This is a question that can elicit both profound contemplation and effortless response. Picture a scenario where you wake up every morning beside someone who feels entirely at ease being their authentic self around you, who greets you with kisses without the slightest concern about whether you've brushed your teeth or not. This is a person who consistently showers you with compliments, or, equally, isn't hesitant to offer constructive criticism about your appearance, making you feel incomplete when such observations are absent. They're the one who frets over your well-being and grows anxious and concerned when you fail to answer your phone. Throughout the day, they remain engaged, demonstrating genuine interest in your daily activities and offering unwavering support every step of the way. When exhaustion and weariness set in, they become your reliable pillar of strength, extending their comforting shou...

  God did you really say ….. This sounds like one of the phrases we use most. Don't feel offended I use it too, more times than I can remember. There are times that my faith is shaken to the core. It becomes easy to doubt God or rather his promises of truth for temporary mental satisfaction rather than wait on Him.  Remember Mary, yes the mother of Jesus, Imagine this with me here. She's pledged to be married, an Angel suddenly shows up and tells her she's going to be pregnant virgin. Most theologians think that she was between 12- 14 years of age by then. She was young and yet highly favored of the Lord. Luke 1:30 But the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdo...
