The
heart of worship is surrender! “And
so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let
them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will accept. When you think of
what he has done for you, is this too much to ask?” Romans 12:1
In
today’s competitive culture we are taught to never give up and never give in – so
we don’t hear much about surrendering. If winning is everything, surrendering
is unthinkable. We would rather talk about winning, succeeding, overcoming, and
conquering than yielding, submitting, obeying, and surrendering. But
surrendering to God is the heart of worship.
As
Joshua approached the biggest battle of his life, he encountered God, fell in
worship before him, and surrendered his plans. That surrender led to a stunning
victory at Jericho
Nothing
is more powerful than a surrendered life in the hands of God. “So give
yourselves completely to God.” Praise His Name regardless of today's circumstances. He is worthy - Amen?
