It's a Matter of Surrendering
Rev. Duane Bemis
Habakkuk 3:17-18
Good morning, beloved friends. This morning, I have been meditating on this statement which flows from every corner of my mind, "It's a matter of surrendering!" As usual, I find my heart, soul, and mind searching the Scriptures for the heartbeat of our heavenly Father.

Chapter 3:17-18 "Even though there is no fruit on the vine, yet will I praise Him."
"It's a matter of surrendering!"
In the book of Joel, we find the same heartbeat of God. Joel 2:12-13
"Now, therefore, says the Lord, turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. So rend your heart and ...
