1Samuel
“They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But return to Him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.” Then said they, “What will be the guilt offering which we will return to Him?” They answered, “Five golden tumors and five golden mice according to the number of the Lords of the Philistines. For one plague was on you all, and on your Lords. Therefore you will make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land. And you will give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps He will lighten His hand from off you, even from off your gods and from off your land.”
1 Samuel 6:3-5 MEV

Freedom is available to us all.
Ask Him!
Salvation is free!
God doesn’t stop there!
He wants Shalom for all of us. That means perfect peace. Nothing missing, nothing broken.
If you’re not experiencing that right now, He’s not done!
Walking in perfect peace in this world requires a life of surrender to His will.
His Word is His will.
“You, therefore, pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven! May your Name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us the food we need today. Forgive us what we have done wrong, as we too have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not lead us into hard testing, but keep us safe from the Evil One. For kingship, power and glory are yours forever. Amen.’ For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will not forgive yours.”
Mattityahu (Mat) 6:9-15 CJB
Action Step
Do not go to the Lord empty handed.
What idols are you carrying?
Offer Him your will, your agenda, your control, your shame, your self.
Surrender it and offer Him praise.
Receive His Shalom
Perfect love casts out all fear.
