Psalms 81:11-12

What does it mean to submit to God, and why should you bother? Believe it or not, submitting to God isn't meant to box you in or restrict you; instead, it will free you! Submitting to God is a daily expression of love that brings you closer to God and produces many blessings, including freedom from worry, peace, and eternal rewards! Are you ready to let go and let God?

If you’re disillusioned with church, hunger for more than dry religion, or simply want to draw closer to Jesus, this plan is for you. Growing up a pastor's kid, Emily Wierenga battled anorexia. Longing to encounter Jesus, she unexpectedly found Him while traveling in Africa. She now offers Him to you. Pull up a chair at the table. Taste and eat this God who became bread. You’ll never hunger again.

The wilderness season often makes us feel lost, forsaken, and abandoned. The interesting thing about the wilderness is that it is perspective-shifting, life-transforming, and faith-forming in nature. As you read this Plan, I pray you will not resent the wilderness but embrace it and allow God to do some of his best work in you.

This 14-day plan is a collection of devotions on finding true joy in God. Each day features a Scripture reference and a meditational thought on living a joy-filled life, as well as a closing prayer. The content for this devotional was taken from: "Where Hope Blossoms" by Nina Smit.
