Day 10
Seeking God’s Will, Not Your Own

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)

Reflection:
Abraham’s climbing Mount Moriah, heart pounding, Isaac at his side, knife heavy in his hand (Genesis 22:2-3). God’s command to sacrifice his son makes no sense to him, but he trusts anyway. Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed… to test and approve God’s will.” Psalm 143:10 prays, “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God.”

Surrendering your plans is like hiking blind, but Abraham’s faith proved God’s path is better. What’s a choice you’re wrestling with? Lay it down, like he did on that altar. It’s not about clarity but trust, knowing God’s got you. Abraham’s obedience sparked a nation; your trust could spark His peace today.

What decision are you trying to control instead of trusting Him?

Today’s Challenge: Name a choice you’re facing. Read Proverbs 3:5 and Psalm 143:10 out loud, praying for God’s will over yours. Abraham’s climb led to blessing; your surrender could too.

Prayer: God, Abraham’s trust shames my need for control. Guide my choices, align my heart with Your will, and lead me to Your peace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Think about the last Bible class you sat through. Think about the last sermon you heard. Now ask yourself two questions. Did it teach you something true about the nature and character of God? Did it teach you something you must do, or stop doing, to be acceptable to Him? […]
Praying hands over the Bible
In a world filled with suffering, injustice, and unexpected hardship, one question echoes through the hearts of believers and skeptics alike: Why do bad things happen to good people? If God is loving, powerful, and just, why does He allow pain to touch those who strive to live rightly? This […]
Is God Your First Desire? Where does your mind go the moment it is free? In the stopped traffic, the waiting room, when your phone is down, when the tv is off, the last few minutes before sleep? Most minds default to worry, or plans, or nothing at all. Few […]
