Day 10 "The Heart of Worship"

Wow.  What a chapter.  Surrender you whole life to God.  Do we surrender our lives to God?  In this day in age of cell phones, 2000 channels of TV, world news at the blink of an eye the moment it happens.  Do we have the ability to look to the heavens and say "God it is in your hands now"? How freeing that must feel.  in this chapter it talks about why we don't surrender to Christ. The first reason is "Do we trust God?"  This is a huge question.  I think most of us think we trust God, but don't put our trust in him.  why is this?  Is there anyone in you life that has done for you what God has?  Has anyone given up a child for you?  Has anyone offered to pick you up and embarrassed you in a hug no matter how many times you hurt them?  God gives us this every day of our life.  He doesn't care what you did last, as long as what you do next is to glorify him.  The second statement is that we don't like to "Admit our limitations"  In the book it says we "try to be like God".  Is that even possible?  Who thinks they have that ability?  We need to accept that God made us so we are here for him.  He gave us unique characteristics for our lives and to fulfill our purpose.  We need to surrender to God to fully live for our purpose. So what does it mean to surrender? It means sacrificing, suffering, in order to change what needs to be changed. Living for Gods glory.  When God ask you to fulfill his glory you say "yes Lord".  The bible even states "Stop quarreling with God! If you agree with him, you will have peace at last, and things will go well for you."
