SURRENDERING TO GOD’S DIVINE PLAN (2)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: THURSDAY, 11 JANUARY 2024
So, in our surrender, we find peace. It is a surrender that acknowledges God’s sovereignty over our lives and affirms His goodness. Just as a potter molds clay into a vessel, God shapes our lives with purpose and intention. When we release our plans, fears, and doubts into God’s capable hands, we make room for His transformative work. Consider the life of Joseph in the Old Testament. His journey was filled with challenges, betrayal, and unforeseen circumstances. Yet, through it all, Joseph surrendered to God’s plan. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph says to his brothers,
SCRIPTURE: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” – Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Joseph’s surrender allowed God to orchestrate a plan that went far beyond what he could have imagined. So, beloved, in your moments of uncertainty, take a deep breath and surrender all to God. Release the need for control and invite God to lead. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Surrendering to God’s divine plan is not a sign of weakness, but a declaration of our unwavering and unassailable trust in God.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, in all things, let us learn to surrender to God—the One has our masterpiece in mind and His plan for us surpasses our wildest imaginations.
PRAYER: Oh God, You are our God. You have the masterpiece of our lives in Your hands, please give us the grace to surrender all to You, even in the greatest challenges of our life. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: And may we find unparalleled and matchless peace when we surrender all to God, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Genesis 50:20, Proverbs 3:5-6
