Why Sacrifice? Embracing God’s Promises For Joy And FruitfulnessSample

Guidance 

The Lord is faithful to guide us in the way we should go. God cares about each of us and orchestrates our lives—for our good, for the Kingdom, and for His glory.

When we submit our lives to God, we can expect to be led into unfamiliar situations—ones that we wouldn’t choose to step into on our own. Sometimes the unknown makes us afraid to follow Him. We may find ourselves wondering if we can really trust God to lead us well. 

But the Lord has infinite wisdom, power, and love—His ways are truly perfect. As we surrender our lives to God, we discover that His plans are far superior and more intricate than anything we could plan for ourselves. With infinite knowledge at His disposal, God works every detail together for our good. No matter how unfamiliar or threatening the path of obedience and sacrifice may appear, we can entrust all our ways to God.
