David Jeremiah 26 January 2022 Daily Devotional for Today
Topic: Who’s in Charge?
Scripture: The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. Proverbs 16:1
Recommended Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Every parent goes through the process of establishing with their toddlers—lovingly, reasonably, but firmly—who’s in charge. It’s built into human nature to recognize authority: There can only be one chef in the kitchen, one driver in the car, and one chairperson of the board. Most likely, the recognition of authority comes from the fact that we were created in the image of God who is, without question, in charge.
God made that clear early on: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2-3). The practical implications of God’s authority mean that His will and desires are more important than ours. Think of the innumerable plans and preparations we make in a day, not to mention a lifetime. Whether we consciously submit those plans to God or not, He weighs in. And the end result of our plans comes from Him.
If you are making plans today, submit them to God. If God’s answer is different from your plans, be ready to embrace the changes He makes.
God has no problems, only plans.

Salvation Prayer
Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?
If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ.
Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
