I Am: Part 2
The Lord is Peace
Day 1: The Call to Total Surrender
Reading: Judges 6:11-24
Devotional:
Gideon thought he was bringing a peace offering to share a meal with God, but God consumed it entirely as a burnt offering. This powerful moment reveals a profound truth: God doesn't want partial commitment or shared glory. He desires complete surrender.
Like Gideon, we often approach God wanting to negotiate—offering some of ourselves while holding back other parts. We want to share the sacrifice rather than give it all. But true peace comes only through total consecration. When Gideon realized God demanded everything, fear struck him, yet this fear led to revelation. He built an altar called "Yahweh Shalom"—the Lord is Peace.
What are you holding back from God today? What peace offering are you presenting when He's asking for a burnt offering? Surrender isn't comfortable, but it's the pathway to experiencing God's perfect peace that surpasses understanding.

Jesus is everyone's Savior but He is not everyone's Lord. What is the difference between accepting Jesus as Savior versus making Him Lord of your life, and what does that look like practically? Our obedience gives Him the position of Lord within our lives!
