I Am Yours
Today’s Audio Devotion:
I Am Yours
David Livingstone prayed, “Lord, I am yours. Do what seems good in your sight, and give me complete resignation to your will.” Watchman Nee prayed, “Lord, I am willing to let go all of this for you: not just for your work, not for your children, not for anything else at all, but altogether and only for yourself!”1
When we pray, “Hallowed be Your name,” we are harkening back to Leviticus 22:32, which tells us to hallow the Lord in our own lives, for He is the One who sanctifies us.
One way to hallow God’s Name is by relinquishing control of our lives. When we yield fully to the Lord and allow Him to guide us, we hallow the Name of God. Make sure you’re living in obedience to the Lord so your worship will expand your vision to think of what God can do through you. Don’t be afraid to say, “Lord, I am Yours. Do what seems good in Your sight, and give me complete resignation to Your will.”
Put aside now your weighty cares and leave your wearisome toils. Abandon yourself for a little to God and rest for a little in Him.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
