TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL PASSAGE

DEVOTIONAL

by Clarice Tiu and Gianne Chan

Just like the Israelites, the Lord calls us to surrender to Him. To find his grace enough for the day, and tomorrow will be another day. We should trust Him morning by morning to get just enough for today, for He will surely provide for tomorrow. He is in control, and He is sovereign.

We must recognize this always and remind ourselves that this life is not ours but His, and we live so that He may be glorified.

It is tough to trust the Lord small steps at a time and trust Him each and every day because we fear the future. We fear that something bad will happen and that we are not prepared enough for it. We keep on striving, worrying, and thinking in our heads about how to cope, and we have this heavy weight on our shoulders all the time, but we must simply trust morning by morning.

Let’s ask and reflect: (1) Which aspect/s of my life do I find myself worrying about the most? (2) What are the hindrances that prevent me from trusting the Lord and surrendering to Him?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, please help us surrender our worries about the future and trust You one step at a time. Show us the areas of our lives where fear holds us back, and give us the faith to trust You each day, knowing that You are in control. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
