Years ago, I heard a life-changing quote that has stayed with me for years. It said, “Everything you need is on the other side of surrendering your life to God.” I believe this statement is absolutely true. Everything we need, God can provide. I pray you take that truth to heart. Everything you need God can provide. Yet, often the provision doesn’t come until we surrender to God. 

Main Points:

1. As long as we think we can do it without God, he’ll let us try. When we come up empty, it’s then that we realize surrender is a good idea. God wants us to love him with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. When we put God first in our lives, when we give him control, we’ll experience the joy of God’s provision in every area of life. 

2. God’s plan is not about depriving us of good things. He delights to give his children good gifts. He also desires, above all else, for us to follow him and delight in him. Sometimes God will make us sacrifice something we want to secure our heart for the greatest good: himself. 

3. Is there an area of your life in which God is calling you to surrender? Have you been holding on tightly out of fear and uncertainty for the future? Take a step of faith and let go. Surrender. Trust our loving Father with everything that is important to you. He won’t fail.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Matthew 26:39 - “Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
