August Motivational Moment

By: Dr. Elmira P. Davis

Topic: Who is Holding Your Reins?

August is here, and it is so easy to get caught up in the late-summer hustle(back-to-school shopping, one last beach trip/cruise, etc.).

We stress, we overthink, and we try to control every single outcome. It is very physically and mentally exhausting.

Check out Psalm 139:13: ““For thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.”

In the Bible, your "REINS" refers to your deepest inner parts—your thoughts, your emotions, and your direction.

God literally owns and knows the steering wheel (reins) of your heart.

You do not have to 'fake it till you make it' through this month. God already has a grip on who you are and where you are going.

You may actually think you have it all figured out and have the world by the tail, but turn loose, let go and let God guide, direct and control your issues, situations and challenges! It will be a much smoother ride!

Letting Him guide you isn't quitting; it's just letting the Creator do His job.

Take a breath, drop your shoulders, and hand the REINS back to Him today.
