GIVING IT TO GOD

READ:

And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
-Mark 10:22

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Proverbs 27-29
2 Corinthians 10

A hero to a generation of people who grew up after World War II, Corrie ten Boom left a legacy of godliness and wisdom. A victim of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, she survived to tell her story of faith and dependence on God during horrendous suffering.
"I have held many things in my hands," Corrie once said, "and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that, I still possess."
Corrie was well acquainted with loss. She lost family, possessions, and years of her life hateful people. Yet she learned to concentrate on what could be gained spiritually and emotionally by putting everything in the hands of her heavenly Father.
What does that mean to us? What should we place in God's hands for safekeeping? According to the story of the rich young man in Mark 10, everything. He held abundance in his hands, but when Jesus asked him to give it up, he refused. He kept his possessions and he failed to follow Jesus - and as a result he "went away sorrowful" (v.22).
Like Corrie ten Boom, we can find hope by putting everything in God's hands and then trusting Him for the outcome. - Dave Branon
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live. - Van de Venter

No life is more secure than a life surrendered to God.

It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day. And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast...More
