If we choose to give God control, we must daily reaffirm our surrender to His Spirit filling us and guiding us. This is the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  Commit to daily disciplines of letting Jesus be LORD of our lives. 

L=Learn to know God and His Word, O=Obey God in every area, R=Rely on the Holy Spirit's power, D=Discover God's plan for your life every day.

Kyle takes a look at Jacob and Esau and their relationship with God as told in Genesis. God spoke to Jacob and in his dreams. God speaks to us in our dreams. In today's busy and chaotic world, It is sometimes the only time God is able to get our attention.

God will tell us in our dreams who needs to be cared for. Our responsibility for an abundant life is to take care of each other.

The Samaritan helps the man on the side of the road like Jesus serves all of us; with extravagant, outrageous, overflowing generosity. We all the ability to look outside of ourselves to be what someone else needs at that time. We are called to go out of our way to help others.

God is speaking to each of us in Psalm 139. The best relationships are ones of authenticity. Don't be afraid to be authentic with God. He knows everything about you, so give him your everything.

The Holy Spirit brings us together. During the crucifixion, the Holy Spirit is unleashed when Jesus gives us his humanity. The Holy Spirit is the voice you hear assuring you that everything will be okay. We are called to be the light of the world and to spread God's love to others.

How do you picture God? David pictured himself as a sheep and God as a Shepherd. Just as a shepherd watches over his flock, so God watches over us. We have no where to run where we can escape the presence of God.

"He makes me lie down in green pastures"

God wants us to rest, as he did, on the 7th day. We need to step back and note what we've created. Rest is important, especially when we don't want to. We can not receive what God's wants to give if we don't stop, relax and be open to His will.

"He leads me on Paths of Righteousness"

Why does God lead us? He leads us for his namesake. If the shepherd is not strong, the sheep are not safe. We all go through difficult times but we must trust that God is leading us in the right way.

"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil."

Evil is real and powerful but God promises he will walk with us. Shadows are simply representations or reflections of evil. God has hardwired us for a relationship with him and is beside us when we are in the darkness of the valley.
