I looked up the definiton of the word lord and one of the definitions said someone who has power or control over others. Today I read something in my devotional which was talking about Jesus being Lord over our lives. I know its easy as Christians to just say yes to that question without even thinking about that answer. But my devotional really got me to think about my answer. Is Jesus Lord over my life? A better way to put this; Is Jesus Lord over everything in my life? When it comes to saying Jesus is Lord over my life it's easy to just say yes because we know He's Lord over everything. But this idea of Him being Lord over everything in our lives isn't something that just automatically happens. By saying Jesus is the Lord of our life we are saying that we made a conscious decision to allow God to fully reign over our lives. What I read today broke this down better. It was talking about giving all the keys to our hearts, souls, minds, and all the rest of the areas of our lives. When can't just give God some of the keys, He needs them all. I know the thought of submitting everything to Him is a scary thought but it's the best thing that we could do. God know's exactly what we need and He knows what best for us.
So my prayer for us today is that we would give God total control of our lives. I pray that we would release all our hopes, dreams, and concerns to Him and let Him work everything out for the better. I pray for faith and strength for us to let God be God.
