SURRENDER TO YOUR WILL

As we begin to follow God’s principles in all affairs, we may have questions about the future and how God is going to work everything together for good.  God has infinite power to help us leave behind those things we are in bondage to, and which hinder our relationship with Him and our life’s purpose.  Our part is to trust God and persevere through the obstacles we may encounter on our new path. 

Commit your life to the Lord.  Here is what he will do if you trust in him.  He will make the reward for your godly life shine like the dawn.  He will make the proof of your honest life shine like the sun at noon.  (Psalm 37:5-6 NIRV)

Will God make all things right if we surrender to Him?  Are we willing to trust God with our future?  Asking questions like these is part of our decision making.  To trust God, we need to know Him and know that He is trustworthy.  Reading the Bible will give us knowledge of the character of God and how He acts on behalf of those who trust in Him.  If we have decided to trust Him, are we fully committed to obeying the guidance that God gives us through His Word and in answer to our prayers? 

God is not a man; he will not lie.  God is not a human being; his decisions will not change.  If he says he will do something, then he will do it.  If he makes a promise, then he will do what he promised.  (Numbers 23:19 ERV)

Getting to know the richness of God’s love for us will help us trust Him and surrender to His will.  Jesus knew of the love our Heavenly Father has for us and because of this great love He was willing to come to earth to be our substitute and die for our sins.  Jesus did not come to judge us but to save us.  Are we willing to trust and surrender our will to this God of infinite love and mercy? 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I want to improve my conscious contact with You and get to know You and Your will for my life.  Help me to bring my thoughts and actions into obedience to Your Word and to rely on You for the power to change.  Amen
