Who is in charge of your life? Is it God—or is it you? When you say that Jesus is Lord of your life, are you living a life of submission to His lordship—or do you still try to manipulate events to your own advantage? Even though this total submission to God may seem frightening at first, the more you submit to God, the clearer your understanding of His lordship will be. God knows the limits of our abilities, and He provides the strength and power to do His work. Trying to step into God’s role as the Lord of your life will lead to frustration and exhaustion. Let God be the Lord of your life. You may be hesitant about relinquishing control, but you will quickly find that true freedom lies in submitting. Be honest with yourself today. Is God truly the one and only Lord of your life? Does God make the decisions in your life and influence your every word and action? Do you see God as your leader and Lord or simply as a wish-granter for your desires? Making God the Lord of your life requires a complete surrender of your life to God.
