TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 4TH DECEMBER 2025 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional – 4th December 2025, Thursday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Full Surrender.
Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.”
Luke 1:38
RECOMMENDED READING
Luke 1:34-38
Marty Robinson was a tattooed, bearded punk rocker in Australia who “came to the end of his tether” due to alcohol addiction. Today he’s serving Christ with the Salvation Army as a prison chaplain, and his ministry is changing lives every day. He surrenders himself to Christ each day by beginning every day saying to Jesus, “Use me however you want.”!
That’s essentially what Mary said when Gabriel told her she would give birth to the Messiah. The J. B. Phillips rendering of Luke 1:38 says, “I belong to the Lord, body and soul … let it happen as you say.”
The world around us doesn’t grasp the idea of full surrender to the will of God, but only full surrender brings full victory. God’s wisdom is greater than ours. His plans are better. His guidance is perfect. Even when the pathway seems hard or the task uncertain, we can say, as Mary did, “I belong to the Lord, body and soul. I am willing. Let it be to me according to Your Word.”
TURNING POINT
All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live.
