Even as I read through today's message in the 40 day prayer guide book, it once again brought me to realised I need to always surrender the Isaac in my life, to obey God and always having the fear of the Lord! What it really means to surrender, guess as I mediated over it, God showed me a whole new area into this once again. Surrender is really to give Him first rights and full rights to do whatsoever He pleases. I guess in one way, it really means to let God take hold of the dreams which you have, how you hope things will be like for you in future. Not really easy as I believe many a times we would hope things will turn out to be as what we hope for or plan for, but if we are trying so hard to make them turn out that way, then are we truely trusting in the Lord, for His plans are higher then ours. One area which I guess I have to learn to surrender is how things will be like in the future. At times I choose to think and plan, but then it dont turn out the way I thought it would have gone, I become disappointed and start to wonder if God really has something greater installed for me. I remember what a brother told me recently, we need to look at the BIG PICTURE. Until we are able to do that, then only are we able to understand more of what God has installed for us and not just on the setbacks of problem which we have ahead of us. Hence I believe having to surrender to the Lord our Isaac is not only means something dear to us, but something which we find it difficult to let go and trust God in. I want to follow Abraham's footsteps and want that definding moment in my life, just like how Abraham brought up a sweet incense into Heaven with his act of obedience.
God gives everything to those who surrender all to Him. Are you willing to do that, to receive the greatest blessings that God has for you?
