This sermon encourages us to surrender to God's sovereignty, find peace in His strength, and secure ourselves in His supremacy amidst life's busyness.
Good day, beloved children of the Most High. I stand before you today with a heart brimming with joy, a spirit humming with anticipation, and a message that I believe God has etched onto my heart for us all. We gather here, not by chance or coincidence, but by divine appointment. We are here because our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom and boundless love, has something to share with us.
We turn our hearts and minds today to the wellspring of wisdom that is Psalm 46:10. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." These words, though simple, carry a depth of meaning that we could spend a lifetime plumbing and still find new treasures.
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to forget the importance of stillness. It's easy to forget that our strength doesn’t come from our own efforts, but from the Lord. It's easy to forget that our security doesn’t lie in our circumstances, but in the supremacy of our God. But today, we are reminded of these truths as we surrender to His sovereignty, find stillness in His strength, and secure ourselves in His supremacy.
In our lives, we often find ourselves striving for control. We want to be the masters of our own destinies, the captains of our own ships. But the truth is, we are not in control. We never were. The reins of our lives are in the hands of a higher power, a sovereign God who rules over all. This is a truth we must come to terms with, a reality we must embrace.
This is not a call to passivity or resignation, but rather a call to active surrender. It's about recognizing that our God is not just a higher power, but the highest power. He is not just a ruler, but the ultimate ruler. Surrendering to His sovereignty means acknowledging His authority in our lives. It means accepting that His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts.
When we surrender to His sovereignty, we are not giving up, but rather giving in to a power greater than ourselves. We are not losing control, but rather gaining a control that is far superior to anything we could ever muster. This surrender is not a one-time event, but a daily practice!
Stillness in His strength is a concept that is both simple and complex ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
