Surrender.

“We do not give up, yet we surrender.”

It’s the paradox of God. All our attempts at pressing on are marked with moments where having done all to stand, we just stand. We have prayed and we have praised. We have sown and we have believed. We have gone the distance, and the distance still left shall be filled in with a defiant hope. For we are not a people that give up, but wholly surrender.

We surrender to a power in Christ we have not known before. We surrender with a humility that acknowledges where our ability stops and His continues. We surrender to the truth that what we cannot accomplish in our own strength, He is well able to by His Spirit. We surrender with a decision to live not on the basis of what we see we can’t do, but on what God said He would do.

“God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind.

Does He speak and then not act?

Does He promise and not fulfil?” (Numbers 23:19)

Reason enough to not give up, yet reason enough to surrender.

And everyone said, a brave Amen👑
