SURRENDER ALL< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Isaiah 12

In the journey of life, it is how much joy that is the evidence in your daily walk in the Lord that will determine how much you have surrendered to Him. To surrender to the Lord is to have fully given up all to Him. When you have surrendered to Him, you are saying ÔDaddy take all of my days and let it be concentrated unto You, LordÕ. Surrendering unto God is easier said than done. Many sing it on a regular basis, ÒI surrender unto JesusÓ but they did not live the life of one that has surrendered unto Him. God alone is able to carry you through and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Jesus is inviting you when He called out, ÒCome to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.Ó(Matthew 11:29) Have you actually let go your burden to the burden buster, the Master that loves, the only one that terminates yoke? If surrendering is not possible, He would not have requested us to surrender all unto Him. He is a faithful God and it is left for us to activate faith in Him and He will elevate us in every step that we take. Joy and having joy is what grants access to Him. Isaiah 12:3 testifies that ÒTherefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvationÓ Also, the Psalmist recorded in Psalm 16:11, ÒYou will show me the path of life. In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.Ó Without any iota of doubt, it is clear in the testimonies above that joy is what will grant access to the presence of the Almighty God because in His presence is the fullness of joy. By the grace of God, meditating in His word of testimonies will enable us to be able to observe to do according to His word and not only talk according to His word. Doing, not talking will bring forth joy that is launch-able into the well of salvation for the Living Water of God. Ask today for the grace to surrender all.
