God is working toward a very definite goal, knowing the end from the beginning, and nothing in His purpose happens randomly. He has set each member in the body of the church as He pleases, gifting each to carry out specific functions within His massive purpose involving billions of people over thousands of years. Our general responsibility is to live by faith, a command and a fact, requiring focus and disciplined living while fully accepting God's sovereignty. We must yield to His will, recognizing that He created all things for His pleasure and purpose, and it is His pleasure to set goals for our lives to fit us into His program. Unlike satan, who could not accept this, we are called to be loyal to our Creator God by faith as He works out His purpose for each of us personally. Jesus Christ, as our High Priest, oversees every aspect of our life with loving concern, building bridges between us and the Father to prepare us for His family. Our job is to participate by yielding to His will, even when it is difficult due to our human nature's resistance. We must trust that He knows what He is doing, has made us part of His pleasure, and accept whatever He brings to bear upon us for His purposes, even when it hurts. God's will directs everything in our lives according to His good pleasure, and living by faith means allowing Him to mold and shape us through His designs. We may have different ideas about our objectives, but we must submit to His mind for our lives, which can be challenging when we resist giving up our way. He does whatever He pleases, and as the sovereign Ruler, His decisions may not always fit well with us or may be painful, yet they are always done out of loving concern, knowing the end from the beginning. Our trust must be in Him, recognizing His absolute, irresistible, and infinite sovereignty. He works all things in our lives according to the counsel of His will, not just the big events but every detail, as the potter shapes the clay. We are to accept and submit to His right to mold us into whatever form or use He chooses, trusting His judgment even when His choices are personally hurtful. Our goal is to believe Him in a way that produces trust and a burning desire not to disappoint Him, knowing He is always faithful to His character, His love, and His promises to help us.

Yielding to God's sovereignty is essential to truly knowing Him and living a life aligned with His will. It involves voluntarily cooperating with His purpose, allowing Him to form us into the image of Jesus Christ through knowledge and understanding of His desires. This submission is not merely about accepting divine government but embracing His Godhood over all creation, His character, and His attributes. As we move through life living by faith, we must firmly know where we stand in relation to Him and His purpose, or our human nature will resist conforming to His will. We must be assured that He is close, that He is love, that He is wisdom, and that He holds power over every circumstance in our lives. Without this yielding, spiritual growth and nourishment are impossible, as it is through this surrender that we are freed from ignorance of God, the power of evil, and the wiles of satan. God's truth, when accepted and applied, liberates us from self-centeredness and chains of human nature, enabling us to live righteously. Thus, fully accepting His sovereignty produces intimacy with Him, fosters humility through admiration and comparison to our own limitations, and equips us with the motivation to subjugate our carnal nature to His will.

Worshiping God involves a deep, heartfelt surrender to His will, reflecting an attitude of total submission and reverence. It is not merely about physical actions but about having a bowed-down heart and mind as we adore and honor our Maker. True worship means seeking to do God's will in every situation, asking what Jesus would do, and doing all for the glory of God, making every act an expression of worship. The Bible teaches that there are specific times for worship, as seen when Abraham traveled to a particular place to worship, and the magi came to worship the Child born to be King. Worship is a constant attitude of yieldedness and humility before God, yet there are moments when we worship pointedly and earnestly. True worship happens when we become aware of God's awesome presence, revealing itself in complete humility and surrender to Him. Our every act should be a worshipful adoration of our great God, bringing glory and honor to His name and purpose. When we attend Sabbath services or the Feast, we should go with the intent to worship, adding a deeper dimension to our participation. This attitude helps us listen as if God Himself is speaking, sing praises with reverence, and exhibit greater awe, knowing He is present. Whether in a formal hall or at home, the same respect and honor must be shown, recognizing that worship services are sacred and solemn assemblies where the King is present, and we must honor His presence by our conduct and preparation.
