One thing that is hard for us to do is to surrender ourselves to something. To turn our desires and goals over to somebody else. We live in a world where “Get Yours” is the motto. Meaning go out it take it. Put yourself above others. You are number one. And so on, and so on, and so on. By being a believer, we are supposed to surrender to his will. We are supposed to put others before ourselves. These are ways that we are showing that we are truly following God. Surrendering.
Now here’s the deal. Surrendering does not mean there is no action. Actually, surrendering is an act. It’s an act of us moving forward following God. It is an act of us seeking his will for us. Following the path that he has paved for us. One day at a time. One step at a time. We must move forward. Even if we don’t know where God is leading us. We must move forward. Even if we don’t know, we must surrender.
If we do this, God will show us where he wants us to be. He will place us there. It might not happen today or tomorrow. It might take longer than we hoped. But, he will show us. Actually, you might be exactly where he wants you to be right now. The other day I had to do some blood work. The nurse and I were talking about this very thing. She said she wasn’t sure what God’s plans were for her. I told her she might be doing them right now. So maybe you are as well. Either way, whatever it is that you’re doing, the Bible tells us to put our heart and soul into every activity. It tells us to do every activity like we are doing it for the Lord himself. If we do that, God will bless it. He will bless us. So today, keep moving forward. Keep serving God. Keep serving him in all that you do. And he will put you where he wants you to be.
