SURRENDERING TO GOD’S DIVINE PLAN (1)

TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: WEDNESDAY, 10 JANUARY 2024

Beloved, I want to write to you today about “Surrendering to God’s divine plan.” You see, in the masterplan of our lives, God has carefully designed and laid for us a beautiful path, an impressive divine arrangement that goes beyond our comprehension. As we navigate the twists and turns of our journey in life, it is sometimes so challenging to grasp tightly and understand the direction of our own path. Yet, God beckons us to release our grip and surrender to His divine plan. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding.

SCRIPTURE: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: This trust is not blind; it’s an acknowledgment that God’s understanding surpasses ours, and His plans are woven with wisdom and love. Yes, this is true. However, surrendering to God’s divine plan requires an act of faith, an intentional choice to let go of our desires and embrace God’s perfect will. We shall continue tomorrow. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: Surrendering to God’s divine plan is not a loss of control but a gain of divine direction.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, let’s trust in God, for His plans are always filled with hope and purpose.

PRAYER: Oh God, thank You for Your Word today. Please give us the grace to surrender to Your divine plans for our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen!

PROPHETIC WORD: As we surrender to God’s divine plan, may our surrender resonates God’s intentions for our lives, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: Proverbs 3:5-6
