LOVE WORTH FINDING 19TH AUGUST 2025 TUESDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: From Commitment to Surrender
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
Ponder This:
I was in Romania talking with my translator, Pastor Joseph, and said, “You’ve been to America many times. Tell me about American Christianity.” He said, “The key word in American Christianity is commitment. Commitment is a relatively new word in the United States. It can be found in some dictionaries, but it came into usage in the 60s and American Christians have gotten stronger and stronger in using the word commitment.” I asked, “What’s wrong with commitment?” He said, “When a new word comes in, it always replaces an old word. I searched to find the old word that commitment has replaced. The old word is surrender.”

In commitment, you decide what you’re going to do and commit yourself to it. When you surrender, you lift both hands and say, “I’m under Your control.” Do you see the difference? In commitment, you’re in control. In surrender, God’s in control. He is the King and He is supreme. We simply say, “Your kingdom come; Your will be done. I am under your control.”
- What are some ways you have sought control? What are some things you need to surrender to God?
- What does it look like to live in daily surrender to God?
Practice This:
Talk to a mentor in the faith and ask that person how he or she seeks a life of surrender to God.
