Submit

Luke 11:14-23

Victoria Wagner

Well, well, well … another story about Jesus performing a miracle, in this case to a mute (and probably blind, too, according to the Book of Matthew). And the people refuse to recognize it. How many of us read this account and think to ourselves, “Well they were just fools ~ of course, I’d know better!” Would we know better? Would we allow ourselves to submit fully to God so as not to miss the miracles that occur around us every day? It’s a thought-provoking question … I challenge you to submit fully to God during this Lenten season and allow yourself to see the beauty in submission. Allow God to do His work through you. He can and does do wonderful and marvelous things ~ not just in Bible times, but today, too. I invite you to join me ~ let’s submit to God and allow Him to use us. After all, “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.” Can I count you in?

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, Speak, for your servant is listening. I submit myself to you, Lord, to serve as your vessel in this place. I trust, I submit, I am yours, Lord. I believe. Amen.
