Blessings From Surrender
Surrendering to God is essential to experiencing the divine blessings that He has prepared for us.
Andrew Murray emphasizes that God desires to bless us in extraordinary ways that surpass our expectations. He reminds us that the blessings prepared for those who wait on God are beyond human comprehension and are divine in nature. Murray encourages a complete surrender to God's will, asserting that it is through God's strength that we can achieve this surrender. The call to give ourselves entirely to God opens the door to experiencing these magnificent blessings.
Text
Oh, God wants to bless you in a way beyond what you expect. From the beginning, ear hath not heard, neither hath the eye seen, what God hath prepared for them that wait for Him. God has prepared unheard-of-things, blessings much more wonderful than you can imagine, more mighty than you can conceive. They are divine blessings. Oh, say now:
"I give myself absolutely to God, to His will, to do only what God wants."
It is God who will enable you to carry out the surrender.
