Get To Your Destiny Faster, What Can You Do?

When it comes to having our God given purpose we usually want to talk about things like winning, overcoming, succeeding, and never giving up.  We live in a very competitive culture.  The Summer Olympics is just around the corner and we get all caught up in who wins.  The American press will get all over someone who comes in second and gets the Silver Metal.  They didn’t win.  They didn’t get the gold.

How about we do the unthinkable and surrender?  I know surrender usually means we are the loser.  It evokes unpleasant images of defeat in battle, losing a game, or yielding to a stronger opponent.  Perhaps it’s God’s will for us to surrender to Him in order to have the life that He wants us to have.

“The Bible says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service.” (Romans 12:1)

Truly having our destiny doesn’t come when we are in control, it comes when God is in control and we surrender everything to Him.

Here are some of the things we need to do to totally surrender.

1.    Trust in God.  Trust is essential to surrender.  You will never surrender to someone if you don’t truly trust them.  Fear keeps us from trusting but love conquers all fear.  God isn’t a slave driver that will use brute force and scare tactics to make us surrender to Him.  He is a loving and kind Father.  Surrendering to Him brings freedom, not bondage.

2.    Admitting that we have limitations.  Our pride can be a big limitation to surrendering.  Our human spirit is very strong.  Our minds are also very strong.  We can overcome many things with just our human will.  But many times we have to come to the end of ourselves and stop struggling to admit we need help from a higher source.  We aren’t God, we never can be.  As strong as our spirit and minds can be we will never have the strength and power that God has.

3.    Let God take over.  C.S. Lewis said, “The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become—because He made us.  It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”  God knows the personality He gave us.  When we surrender to Him, that personality will come out.

Surrendering to a human master usually means slavery, forced labor, and degradation.  However, surrender to God means life, freedom, and the completion of why He put us here in the first place.  If you wish to accomplish your destiny, surrender totally to the Lord.
