Our God wants to direct our lives in such a way that His name may be glorified and we may be blessed in life. Our life is meaningful when God shows us the path. When we surrender ourselves to God’s hand, we find purpose in life, and our lives become meaningful.
God has promised in His Word that he has a beautiful plan for each of us. If we want to know God’s plan, we need to humble ourselves before Him. This means letting go of our thoughts and dreams and being completely dependent on God. We can walk in His plan when we spend time with God through prayer, reading the scripture, and fasting.
God’s timing is perfect. He knows the right time. Sometimes we lose patience and feel uncertain, but we need to remember that He will do everything for us at the right time. When there are situations in our lives when we do not understand something, we should rely on God’s instruction.
Let us surrender ourselves to God for every moment of our lives. We pray for his presence and direction for any work, big or small. Then he will lead us into His plan, and we will succeed in life. On the other hand, if we follow our wisdom, there may be temporary success in some cases, but in reality, we will fail in life.
Since God’s eyes are on His righteous children, we will entrust Him. We will trust Him with all our heart that He will bring blessings into our lives and guide us.
