Day 2 – Submit to God
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5,6 NKJV
So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 NLT
Submitting to God is not easy. As humans we naturally struggle with the desire to control our lives. But Proverbs 3:5,6 tells us to trust the Lord with our whole heart and not try to understand everything, but to look to God for our direction. So today, will you humble yourself before God and follow down the path He is leading you?
Thanksgiving
Thank God for the quiet moments to spend in His Presence.
Focus
Ask God to remove distractions so you may focus your heart and mind on Him.
God’s Revelation through His Word
Are there words or phrases that stand out to you? Are there spiritual lessons, truths or principles that you can learn? Is God asking you to act?
Prayer
Pray God’s Words back to Him, making it personally applicable to you. Do you find it difficult to humble yourself before God? Talk with Him about it. Do you have a specific concern? In your journal write a prayer humbly laying your life at the foot of The Cross.
