Devotional
So, beloved, another key to discovering peace in the arms of Christ is surrender. Surrender is a fundamental aspect of this matter. Surrendering to Christ means relinquishing control of every area of your life to Him. It involves acknowledging His lordship and submitting to His will wholeheartedly, trusting that His plans for you are good and perfect (Romans 12:2).
Key Scripture
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.James 4:10 (NIV)
Refreshing for the Day
Surrender requires letting go of our own plans, desires, and agendas, and embracing God’s purposes for our lives instead. It involves releasing the need to have everything figured out and surrendering to God’s wisdom and guidance (Proverbs 3:5-6). Stay Refreshed!
Note This
Surrender requires humility, recognizing your own limitations and inadequacies and acknowledging your need for God’s strength and guidance (James 4:10).
Responsibility
So, let us learn to humbly accept God’s way over our own and submitting to His authority.
