A daughter of the Most High

Devotional by Ana Martinez

“A daughter of the Most High”

On Thursdays I enjoy spending quality time with my 2 nieces. My children are in school during the day so this time with the little girls helps keep me grounded. Today in the car we were listening to music and singing along. I sing loud and the music was loud but it did not stop my youngest niece, who is 2, from letting her voice be heard. During one of her favorite songs she sang as loud as she could “there is liberty.” It just warmed my heart.  During the next song she shouted out the lyrics ” I surrender all!’

Luke 18:17 – Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

Here she is as young as can be, yet she was determined to sing His praises with everything inside of her.  She did not just blurt these lyrics out, she sang them with true meaning. I was blown away. I remember there was a time in my life when I sang His praises with everything inside of me. I had child-like faith and spoke of Christ with such passion and enthusiasm.  Don’t get me wrong, I still am very passionate about Him.  However I have let “things”, “situations”, “disappointments”, and even “fear of people”, stop me from vocalizing my true admiration for God.  This has grieved me deeply.  But now in complete surrender, I declare and will continue to verbally declare that He is Marvelous and Worthy of our Praise in and throughout all situations.  There is no one or anything else that can bring peace like Christ does. “The Prince of Peace.” When you truly surrender all unto Him; your wants, your desires, your heart and your time, miracles take place, transformations takes place, healings takes place, breakthroughs take place, deliverance takes place and restoration takes place.

So I ask you today Do YOU surrender all?

Matthew 16:25

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
