2 Corinthians 8:5 “And this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the LORD and then by the will of GOD to us.”
First — Each Morning!
Reciting HIS Words, Repeating those actions done perfectly by our SAVIOUR…
Must first be combined with Sincerity’s zeal! Else all is just motion without any heart.
How then shall we measure such efforts of faith? To what lengths must we go first of all?
‘Tis the span of surrender when to our knees, falling; THAT space between standing and kneeling!
As HIServant in your service reminded to surrender daily with all our hearts, minds bodies and souls,

Devotional: Proverbs 16:3 “(First) Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established.”
Proverbs 3:6 “In all your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will make straight your paths.”
Did you know…
…that words are important?
That actions speak louder than words? Of course!
But the third component, which makes all the difference…is the hearts’ intent.
We all should know that just from HIS own words! As such!
None can fabricate humbled honesty; no one can fool GOD WHO openly sees every heart.
So before we speak and even longer before we act, kneel lowest before the LORD for HIS favor and direction.
It’s the spiritual distance then between standing and bowing before our CREATOR!
THAT makes all the difference, amen?
So let us be quick to pause to be both real and surrendered first — each morning!
Amen and amen.
