Surrender unto God!

We read this morning from the first chapter of the book of Job written about the 5th c. AD. In spite of his righteousness, we can witness his loss and afflictions in all areas of his life: his farms, his children, his possessions, and his health, but his life. In the character of Job, the Bible depicts the situation of all innocent people who serve God faithfully yet still suffer atrocity, afflictions, unbearable pain, incurable disease, natural disasters, extreme poverty, etc.
In response to this mysterious question of his suffering, Job surrenders his life to God and gives praise.
Such an attitude of total trust can only be possible if we are having a childlike faith. Such is a humble, irrevocable faith in God required by Jesus if we want to be great!

Lord, I surrender myself to you in whatever situation that I find myself today!
