Read: Psalm 28:8

Once we give ourselves up to God, do we attempt to get hold of what can never belong to us – tomorrow? Our lives are His, our times are in His hand. He is Lord over what will happen, never mind what may happen. When we pray “Thy will be done,” do we suppose He does not hear us? He always hears and always answers. If your life is fully surrendered, all is well.

Jesus fully surrendered to His Father’s will, even as He was led to the cross. As the Son of God, He could have walked away from the cross and the humiliating death. But He did not. Though He knew the pain and the spiritual agony He was about to experience, He willingly surrendered His will to the Father (Luke 22:42). He knew fully well that His Father was in control, and that the Father would do everything perfect.

Many fear to surrender all. They feel that they should take charge in certain matters, or that they need to decide in certain areas of their life. They do not trust God completely. Even when He says that He can be trusted, they doubt it and thereby lack the assurance of God’s presence and provision. Can we surrender ourselves completely to Him, every area of our lives? Let us not hold back certain areas, as though those areas would be safer with us. We are fully safe in Him if we surrender fully to Him.
