If
you are willing to be mine, and give your life to me obediently, all the very
best of life will be given to you. (Isaiah 1:19)
Is
it time for you to change something? Do you hesitate? To pursue the new, you
often must release the things of the present. Most of the time, change is a
very hard thing to do. Your current process, your current location, and the people
you have become accustomed to are but a few of the pieces of your life that can
be woven into a security blanket of relative certainty in an otherwise very
uncertain world. It is the way that you know. But, God may be calling you to a
new and different way. He will often lead you to change something. God doesn’t
want you to rely on anything or anyone but Himself for your security.
Remember,
Jesus said, “I am the way.” (John 14:6), and Isaiah relays that same message
from God. “Follow my way, giving yourself and your will – all of your life – to
me. Obey me, because I want the best for you.” This is a huge promise,
presented in the simplest of terms. If you will decide to let the Lord determine
your way – that means places, people, activities, and circumstances – then, His
way will lead you to His very best.
Giving
up control of your life is a big deal. It is hard. But, God promises – it is
worth it!
