Total Surrender to God
Deuteronomy 28:1-2
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”
God has, and always will, bless those who are obedient and those who seek after Him. He loves us so much, and simply asks us to love Him back. To be obedient, we have to know what He asks of us. Only way to know that, is to read His Word. So why do we so often struggle to find the time or even the desire to read the Bible?
“He who does not intend to obey does not wish to know the law. If we have no longing to know what the will of the Lord is, we may be very sure that we prefer our own to His. If we desire to know it, we shall desire to understand the Book which contains so much of it.”
(MacLaren Expositions Of Holy Scripture)
Maybe we aren’t reading, because we haven’t completely surrendered to God’s will yet. Maybe we are still holding onto our own earthly desires. Today, I encourage you to let go. When you seek God instead of your own desires, He will bless you beyond your wildest dreams! His plan for your life is far better than anything we could imagine or plan for ourselves. Life will be filled with joy, blessings, peace, prosperity, joy and love! God loves blessing His children! That’s my God!!!!
