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. Jonathan Roumie—the actor who plays Jesus in the successful TV series The Chosen, which is based on the Gospels—realised this in May of 2018. Roumie had been living in a big city for eight 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 four cheques in the post and three months later, he was cast for the role of Jesus in The Chosen. Roumie 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.

I have given my heart to God and the Holy Spirit fills my soul and I will continue to pray to God for Israel to find peace and joy in their life. Jesus wept over them and they really need us today.

Those who surrender to Gods will and serve Him will not practice pedophile or do evil against anyone. If you do, then satan has gotten into yourself and need forgiveness and deliverance from this horrible sin. Save them o Lord and fill them with the precious Holy Spirit. Amen
