GIVE GOD THE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE TODAY AND SURRENDER YOURSELF TO HIS PURPOSE!

Do You Trust the Will of God? May 3, 2012 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. James 4:10 Awhile back, I was at an evangelism conference where someone told me about a black pastor who stood up before his congregation and said, “All right, repeat after me.” Then he said, “Yes!” And the congregation replied, “Yes!” He said it again. So again, the pastor said, “Yes!” And the congregation responded, “Yes!” He did it another time, “Yes!” And the congregation again replied, “Yes!” standing to their feet. Then he said, “Now that we’ve said yes, let’s see what the Word of God says for our lives today!” Isn’t that good? These men and women of this church were saying yes to the will of God before it ever happened. They said, “Lord, You do what only You can do, and we are ready to yield our lives to Your will.” Now this is not fatalism; this is faith. It’s not just an excuse for laziness and irresponsibility in life, it’s the recognition that, “Lord, You are God and we are Your servants. We put ourselves aside and give You the driver’s seat.” Have you done that? Have you said “Yes!” in your heart and given God control? Do it today and let Him know that you love and trust Him to work all things out for your good!
