Are you the boss? Do you decide everything? Do you decide when to get up, when to go to bed, when to study? Do you decide who to talk to? Who your friends are? Who to avoid? Your hobbies? Your classes? How you use your free time?
When was the last time you asked God to guide you, to show you what HE wants you to do?
He made you. He knows you better than you know yourself. Those dreams you have? He put them in you. He knows your desires and He wants to bless you. But you have to seek Him and let Him lead you. Are you doing that? Are you spending a few minutes in the Word every day?
(Did you know that if you read the Bible for 12 minutes a day, you will finish it within a year?)
Seek Him. He wants to bless you. But you have to let Him be in charge. Invite Jesus to be the boss.
Romans 14:7-8 says, “For none of us lives for himself, and no one dies for himself. If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”
It’s not about you. It’s not about me. We live and die for the Lord. You are here today for the Lord.
God, I know you made me and your plan for me is better than anything I might come up with on my own. I give my life to you—and I want to start by giving you this day. Lead me today. Speak to me and guide me. Help me follow you. Help me read the Word and love your Word. And help me to follow you and listen for your voice every day. I want to submit myself completely to you. I love you! Be the Lord and boss of all my decisions starting today. Remind me to spend time in your Word and in prayer every day. I love you, Lord Jesus.
