What better way to start the day than by laying your cares at his feet? - Max Lucado, Grace For The Moment #Dailydevotions #TimelyMessage #lifequotes (at Dumaguete City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bZdO8p5Hi/?igshid=1je8gtwv1uwt3

Let God be your good Father

"This day the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and rules. You shall therefore be careful to do them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you will walk in his ways, and keep his statutes and his commandments and his rules, and will obey his voice." Deuteronomy 26:16-17 

God’s lordship requires our listening skills, then afterwards acting upon whatever we heard. His words (promises, commandments, statutes, etc) are meant to be brought to life. The only thing that will make His word into living is us acting upon it, otherwise, these are just mere words -- idle words.

For Christian youths, we are well-fed of the Word from the bible, especially the dos and don’ts of Christian dating. As a girl, it became my life principle to really stick to the Word, to wait for God’s best, to honor God’s will for me. Yet somehow, things get difficult along the way. When my heart started to feel something and I know at first glance that this is wrong, part of me wanted to obey God, part of me wanted to do the other thing and to just go with the flow. And even when I know what I must do, which obviously is what God wants, I come to a point of reasoning against God. 

Well I guess, I just need to choose to surrender my life every single day to the Lord. For He said, I must not worry/ be anxious of various things in life because He cares for me. He knew what I want and what I need and as a good good Father, I must allow Him to be a Father to me, providing what He thinks is best.
