What does it mean to turn our will and our life over to the care of God? What kind of care can we expect to receive from God?
The following scripture tells us what God says He will do for us. “I’ll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.” (Ezekiel 36:25-27 MSG)
God is faithful and dependable. He is worthy of our trust and confidence. This God of unfailing love will never let us down. He will lead us into what He alone knows is good for us. He will also warn us about what is harmful to our well-being. God wants us to avoid the damage that deceptive teaching brings. His perspective is purely one of love and blessing. God’s desire for us is to know a satisfying way of life and to live it well.
Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back? For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36 NLT)
When we begin to live yielded to God’s will and accept God’s loving care for us, it’s like a light goes on and we recognize, “This is it. This is what I’ve been looking for all my life.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me and making a way for me to experience a satisfying life. You are an awesome God. I admit I don’t fully understand Your ways but am willing to turn my will and my life over to Your care. AMEN
