God said, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7. God is awesome, and His Word is real! God is real! And no one wants better for you than your Heavenly, Father! He wants to be our everything! No one can take the place of God, and no one can take care of us like God. We are never to be afraid, because His will always prevails. And He will watch over us and take care of us like no other. He knows us better than we even know ourselves. Do we even know how many hairs are on our head? We don’t even have the capability to count them. But God knows! He knows everything! He wants to wrap us in His arms and carry us everywhere we go. All we have to do is surrender. Surrender! A powerful word that holds so much power that it is very hard for us to do as humans.
Dictionary.com defines surrender as to yield (something) to the possession or power of another. God wants us to surrender to Him. The very words of God in Joel 2:12-13 say, “Even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. REND YOUR HEART AND NOT YOUR GARMENTS. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.” All we have to do is return to Him with all of our hearts. Surrender our all to Him. Die to self and allow Him to have complete reign over our lives. I know it sounds much easier than it is to actually accomplish. And why? I’ll tell you, a five letter word – DEVIL! The devil doesn’t want us to live the abundant life that God has planned for each of us. But how long will we live the treacherous lives we are drowning in daily. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to surrender and allow God to fully have His way with me. Today, I declare a holy fast as Joel did in verse fourteen of chapter one. Today is the day!
Dear God, In Jesus name, we praise You for this wonderful day you have given us! We love you so much! Dear God, forgive us for our sins and everything we have allowed to come before you. Dear God, today, we surrender our lives to you! We trust You with all of our heart. We stand on the promises of your Word that You will take care of us and help us in everything we do. You are such a passionate and caring God! Thank you for all You have done for us, and all You are going to do! Dear God, I ask that You bless each person that is reading this post! Bless them with a tremendous day! We love you so much! In Jesus Name, Amen!
