Father Into Thy Hands!

Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice,“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”[e] When he had said this, he breathed his last.

Quickword: Father Into Thy Hands!

Has there ever been a situation or circumstance in your life that made you cry out to God. If you have never had that experience just keep on living. There comes a time in all of our lives when we will have to cry out to God. Here in this text, we find Jesus calling out to God. It’s Friday around the 9th hour, Jesus has been nailed to a cross at Calvary and hung between two thieves. The pain of this day is unbearable and in His last breath, Jesus cries out to God. His cry is not simply for help but is one of absolute surrender. I want to suggest in this Quickword today that we surrender unto God anything that’s causing us pain. The pain of continued mass shootings in this country, the pain of the loss of a loved one, the pain of dealing with a long term illness, the pain of a fractured relationship or the pain of inflation and the cost of basic necessities to live is enough to make us cry out to God. The good news is we can absolutely surrender all of our cares to God.

God is still a protector!

God is still a comforter !

God is still a healer!

God is still a deliverer!

God is still a provider!

If you need to cry out, go ahead, we can surrender all of our cares and concerns to God. There is nothing He cannot handle. No matter what comes my way, I’m going to trust in God, He has brought us to far to leave us! Father into thy hands I commit my spirit!

Let’s pray: Father into thy hands we commit our Spirit. Father we come this morning submitting to your will and your way. Your word reminds us that we can cast all of our cares upon you because you care for us. Father we lay it all at your feet and into thy hands in Jesus name we pray. Amen
