Surrendering to GOD seems hard for many . Realizing and understanding that he is the ultimate power from our beginning to our end . The self serving , the fools and the proud struggle against him in vain . You only have to look around you to see it . It's a simple fact .
We are reading the book of Daniel in the...Reading the bible...thread above . Chapter 4 is the reading for today and the last line of today's reading is ;
Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
Nebuchadnezzar thought he was the ultimate power but our Lord brought him down . This is a reoccurring situation in reading GOD's word . I would use Saul as an example but the bible is full of instances of it .
Our Lord wants us to succeed in our life here in a fallen world . He asks little from us except to believe in him and follow in his word . We believe in a loving and merciful GOD .
John 3;16 ;
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
