Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 1–2, 1 Timothy 3
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this.
Psalm 37:5
God doesn’t help those who help themselves; He helps those who trust in and rely on Him. ###—the actor who plays Jesus in the successful TV series The Chosen, which is based on the Gospels—realised this in May of ###. ### had been living in a big city for ### years, was nearly broke, had enough food just for the day, and had no work in sight. Not knowing how he would make it, the actor poured out his heart and surrendered his career to God. “I literally [prayed] the words, ‘I surrender. I surrender.’ ” Later that day, he found ### cheques in the post and three months later, he was cast for the role of Jesus in The Chosen. ### found that God will help those who trust in Him.
Rather than being envious of and fretting over those “who are evil” (Psalm 37:1), the psalmist invites us to surrender everything to God. When we centre our daily activities on Him, “trust in [Him] and do good”, “take delight in [Him]” (vv. 3–4) and surrender to Him all our desires, problems, anxieties, and the daily events of our lives, God will direct us and give us peace (vv. 5–6). As believers in Jesus, it’s vital for us to let Him determine what our lives should be.
Let’s surrender and trust God. As we do, He’ll take action and do what’s necessary and best.
Reflect & Pray
What parts of your life are off-limits to God these days? What will it mean for you to surrender your life to Him today?
Dear God, please help me to surrender to You freely today and experience Your life and peace.
