Devotion for Track 2: “Throne of Surrender”
Key Scripture:
Luke 22:42. “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
Reflection:
Surrender is often seen as a sign of weakness in our world, but in the Kingdom of God, it is a position of strength and trust. Jesus Himself, in the garden of Gethsemane, provided the ultimate example of surrender. Facing immense pain and suffering, He chose to submit to the Father’s will, showing that true surrender is an act of profound love and trust in God’s plan.
Digging Deeper:
- Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”
- Trusting God means relying on His understanding and wisdom rather than our own. Surrendering to God involves letting go of our plans and leaning into His guidance.
- Romans 12:1: “…present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God…”
- True worship involves offering ourselves fully to God, surrendering every part of our being to His service and glory.
- James 4:7: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
- Surrender to God is also a powerful weapon against temptation and evil. In submission, there is divine strength and protection.
Application:
- Daily Surrender: Start each day with a prayer of surrender, offering your plans, hopes, and struggles to God.
- Reflective Journaling: Regularly journal your thoughts and feelings about surrender. Reflect on areas of your life where you struggle to let go and invite God into those spaces.
- Community Accountability: Share your journey of surrender with a trusted friend or mentor. Encourage one another in walking this path of faith.
Challenge:
Identify one area of your life where you find it difficult to surrender control. Commit to praying specifically about this, asking God for the grace to trust and surrender fully. Reflect on any changes or insights that arise from this focused prayer.
This devotion is crafted to deepen the understanding and practice of surrender in the believer’s life, challenging them to consider the transformative power of fully submitting to God’s will.
Lyrics
Throne of Surrender
Verse 1
Here before Your throne, I lay my crown,
In Your holy presence, all walls come down.
Every dream and fear, to You, I bow,
On the throne of surrender, my vows I avow.
Chorus
Lord, take Your place, reign in my heart,
Throne of surrender, where You impart.
Your will, not mine, let Your kingdom start,
In my yielded soul, Your love impart.
Verse 2
In the quiet surrender, Your grace I find,
Your plans, not mine, in my life entwined.
In humble adoration, my will resigned,
On the throne of my heart, Your love defined.
Chorus
Lord, take Your place, reign in my heart,
Throne of surrender, where You impart.
Your will, not mine, let Your kingdom start,
In my yielded soul, Your love impart.
Bridge
In surrender, I find freedom, in letting go, I gain,
In the throne room of my Savior, in loss, there’s much to gain.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, in my life, Your refrain,
On the throne of surrender, in Your love, I remain.
Chorus
Lord, take Your place, reign in my heart,
Throne of surrender, where You impart.
Your will, not mine, let Your kingdom start,
In my yielded soul, Your love impart.
Outro
Here on bended knee, Your sovereignty I embrace,
Throne of surrender, filled with Your grace.
In my life, Lord, take Your rightful place,
In the throne of surrender, I find Your embrace.
