The Sound of Victory (Living a Victorious Life Devotional)Sample

Day 6: Say Yes! (Surrender)

One of the most powerful things we can do is say “Yes” to God.

Isn’t it amazing that the God who created the whole universe and has all power, never actually forces us to do anything? He doesn’t make us do things but instead, invites us to choose them and that’s something we can all actually do!

The reason this is such a huge key for victory is because when we surrender and say “Yes” to God, we are given His power to do things we couldn’t do in our own strength. Maybe you’ve got some big dreams to do big things for God but you don’t know where to start. It starts by saying “Yes” to whatever He’s putting in front of you right now.

Maybe you just want to change and stop that old habit that you can’t seem to break. Again, start by surrendering to God and saying “Yes” to Him. The truth is, none of us are actually strong enough to do all that God asks us to do. It’s too big and too much, but it’s all good because God isn’t actually expecting us to have all the strength and answers. He’s just asking us to trust Him and say “Yes.” When we do that, it opens us up to the power that HE has for us!

Think about Peter. He didn’t have any special power to walk on water. That was impossible. But when He said “Yes” to Jesus and stepped out of the boat, all of a sudden God gave him an ability that was not his own to do what Jesus told him to do!

He will do the same for you!
