Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!” Luke 18:28
Surrendering to the will of God is the expectation of God from all His followers. He himself Has the Master plan of everyone’s life, and His plans are of peace and not of evil for us to function according to His plan for our life expected end, Jeremiah 29:11. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a perfect example of total submission to God, he made a declaration that shows the secret of his strength, and how to continuously strong and victorious in the battles of life. In John 4:34, “My food, said Jesus, is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish his work.”
What does food do for our body? It gives us strength. It gives us all the vitamins, the proteins, and the energy that we need to keep us going. It boosts our immune system so we can overcome every sickness, every weakness, every virus, or germs that tries to attack our body and break us down. Moreover, food gives us pleasure. Every healthy person takes delight in eating good food. Looking at the message of Jesus in this scripture, what food does to our physical body is what doing God’s will and finishing His work does to our spiritual life and yes our entire life.
What are some of the ways we can surrender our schedules to God?
The number one way is to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Surrendering all to him means we have accepted his lordship and will believe in the salvation which is in him.
We must be obedient, “If we are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.” Isaiah 1:19
Be connected with Him through His word. ” I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.” “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Psalm 119: 104-105
Prayer. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought.” Luke 18:1-2. We must give the best of our time to prayer. Jesus led by example and we must follow suit according to the instruction He has given to us.
Fellowship with children of God: “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
Today, decide to make your life a pleasurable, find out God’s plan for your life and let it be your delight in following God’s plan and schedule for you. Whatever is outside of God’s will for your life, as revealed in the words of God and by the Holy Spirit, stay out of it by all means. Let it be your joy and delight doing God’s work and to finish whatever assignment He has given to you, and you will find yourself going from glory to glory.
