As believers following the example of YESHUA, we should persevere in adversity and have confidence in GOD’S promises (His Word) and surrender it all to Him. If you are a take-charge kind of person, you may find it hard to submit to the LORD! This has been man’s problem since the beginning. Adam and Eve decided to ignore GOD’S warning and did it their way, and look what happened—disaster!
Nothing has changed with us humans. We tend to ignore GOD’S wisdom and knowledge (Bible). Selfishness and pride can make us reluctant to let GOD take charge over our lives. We want to cling to our ideas and dreams, but if we yield to GOD’S control, we position ourselves to live the abundant spiritual life YESHUA died to give us!
Here’s what YESHUA said:
Luke 11:28
But He said, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Obedience to GOD’S will and ways always brings glory to GOD as well as blessings to us. Surrender is the way to abundance! Won’t you humble yourself before GOD today and relinquish all to Him?
