9 Truths For Living God's Way

DAY 2 OF 10

Surrender: The Starting Point


God designed your life for His glory. Even before you knew Him personally, He knew you intimately: “O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path ... and are intimately acquainted with all my ways” (Ps. 139:1-3). When we surrender ourselves to God, we exchange our old thoughts, feelings, and desires for new ones. Faith is the only way we can do this. By faith, we believe that God is who He says He is and that He will do exactly what He’s promised.


We still can reach our goals, overcome our failures, and enjoy success … but for a different reason. Instead of boasting about what we’ve achieved in our own capabilities, we can enjoy what God has given abundantly. Our lives become reflections of His life and love rather than a checklist of human accomplishments. 


Submit yourself to God. Fulfillment comes only when you decide to love God and give Him all of yourself. This doesn’t mean you settle for second best or stop doing what you’ve been trained to do. Instead, you come to a point where you ask God to use you to the fullest so that others will come to know Him and experience His forgiveness and unconditional love. Those who’ve never discovered the wondrous joy that comes from loving and serving God have yet to experience His eternal fulfillment.


God has a great plan for your life—a life that is exceptional (Jer. 29:11). When you trust and seek only Him, He will teach you how to live above your circumstances. Each one of us has been blessed with spiritual gifts to be used for God’s glory. Yielding to Him is the first step in the process of discovering those gifts and His wondrous purpose for your life.
