I give myself away, Lord!! [ November 6,2023 ]
I give myself away, Lord!!
Isaiah 43:1-2
… I have called you by name. You ate mine. When you pass through the water it shall not overwhelm you and through the fire…..
(Paraphrased)
The passage above tells us about God’s firm assurance to protect His own.
“I give myself away” means you are willing and ready to do whatever will bring glory to God even if it is inconvenient for you.
The life and ministry of the Apostle Paul is a clear example of someone who gave himself away. The story of his life and ministry are well documented in the book of Acts in the new testament.
He was arrested several times, beaten, criticized, stoned, and imprisoned for preaching the gospel but he never gave up.
In our line of duty as ambassadors of Christ we will face challenges. In spite of these trials, we should never give up.
Our goal at every point in time should be to glorify God in all we do.
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
This verse from the new testament stresses the importance of being meek. It has rewards. You will inherit the earth. Which implies that, those who forgo the pleasures of this earth will be rewarded in heaven.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God and do the right.
Prayer
Let this song be your confession and prayer
I surrender all to you
Everything I give to you
Lord, withholding nothing
Withholding nothing
I give myself away
I give myself away
So you can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So you can use me Lord!!
Amen
