Hebrews 12:2 (MSG) – Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and
finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight
of where he was headed–that exhilarating finish in and with God— he
could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And
now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God.

Luke 23:44-46 – It was now about the sixth hour (noon), and darkness
came over the whole land until the ninth hour (3p), for the sun stopped
shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out
with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he
had said this, he breathed his last.

Lesson #7 – SURRENDER your day to God, and .

Psalm 31:4-5 – Free me from the trap that is set for me, for you are my
refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O LORD, the God
of truth.

Matthew 6:24-30 (NLT) – “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate
one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money. That is why I tell you not to worry
about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough
clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than
clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in
barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more
valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to
your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field
and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in
all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so
wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire
tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?”
