See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:8, NIVIn the secular world dependency is seen as weakness and immaturity while Christians see dependence upon God as not only a measure of maturity but also a necessity in the walk of faith. Surrendering all, to the secular world, is not in any way the pathway to advancement; however, in God’s kingdom it means we trust our Lord and Savior in such a way to give Him complete control, saying, "I’m here, I’m available to do what You want me to do—to go where You want me to go—to say what You want me to say whatever the circumstances may be."
Surrendering all means living unhindered and expectantly, knowing our God is able. He loves us; He seeks us and draws us to Him. He leads and directs us as we travel through life; He forgives us when we come before Him with repentance in our hearts. Because God is faithful, we can live by faith and not by sight (Galatians 2:20). Our God is worthy; He is all powerful and He wants the best for His children. Surrender your all to Him today.
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the powerGod bless!
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
1 Chronicles 29:11, NIV
