DAY 5 OF 7

Surrender Your Heart.

“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Surrendering is a choice. Choose to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy‬ ‭30:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Choose to lay your heart before Him. Let Christ conduct surgery on every area of your heart. Surrender to His Word. Let Christ make you whole.

You are not God. You cannot heal yourself. Jesus Christ came so that you might be healed. Christ came to set your heart free. Choose to surrender to Him. Submission is a choice. You have the opportunity to either love and surrender to Christ, or you can surrender to the lusts and cares of this world — you choose. 

You can either hold to the entanglements of the world or you can choose to surrender to Christ. Choose Christ. Choose life. Choose His Way of doing things. Choose to give your life as a living sacrifice. Let every area of your life serve as a continual offering of thanksgiving. Choose not to be a slave to other gods — choose to serve Christ.

You can either worship the gods of this world or you can choose to serve Christ. “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Family Action:

Joshua declared, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” As a family, choose to serve the Lord. Make a declaration to serve the Lord. Choose to surrender your heart to Christ.
