We must surrender and entrust our lives to our One True Living GOD, The FATHER in Heaven!
Would you say a patient who refused to take the medicine his doctor prescribed really trusted the physician? If someone went to an attorney, but refused to follow the lawyer's advice, would you say he trusted the attorney? I think not.
Of course, there are good reasons at times not to trust a physician or a lawyer. They are fallen, finite human beings. They can be wrong. They can have an agenda which is contrary to your best interests. But is there any good reason why you should not trust GOD Almighty? Has HE not proven HIMSELF worthy of full confidence repeatedly?
How can you not Trust HIM after Calvary? After HE sent HIS only begotten Son to this world to die upon a cross for us... all of us! The problem is that we hate to give up our own sovereignty over our lives. We feel like we have to always be in control.
Although we have repeatedly shown that we cannot trust ourselves and do not know how to make our lives run as they should, we hang onto the throne of our own lives with all our might! We would rather trust in the self who has broken countless promises and failed repeatedly than turn to The One WHO Loves us and gave HIMSELF a Living Sacrifice for us.
We want to be our own lord rather than bow our knee to our LORD, our SAVIOR, JESUS The CHRIST. What madness goes on inside our minds!
It is crunch time people! Will you continue to lean on the broken and chaotic self which has brought you nothing but grief, or will you Trust in The Rock? Will you Trust in The One sacrificed HIS own life for you and for me? Will you entrust your life into those hands that were pierced so the Hope of Salvation could be offered to you? Will you turn your life and your will over to HIM today and continue doing so as long as you live? Will you surrender?
Dear Heavenly FATHER, Please forgive me for looking to self, and to others, instead of to YOU as the One, True Living GOD. Thank YOU, that The Blood cleanses me from the sin of my unbelief as I lay down the arms of my rebellion against YOU and YOUR Will. Give me the Faith to trust YOU ever more completely with each new day. Thank YOU for all that YOU are and all that YOU provide. I Praise YOU! I Glorify YOU! I Lift YOUR Name on High! I Pray to YOU, in The Name of YOUR Precious, Only Begotten Son, YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST. Amen.
