“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.” Mark 8:35

In this information age, it is necessary to have a backup for all your data. However, it seems that sometimes we take this thought into our relationship with God. We make alternative arrangements in case prayer does not work. We have backup plans in case His promises do not come to pass. While it makes sense in the natural, this is the very basis for unbelief.

For Peter, he did not throw his net away. He merely kept it. We know this because later on in life, he brought it out when it looked like Christ was failing. What are your alternatives in case God fails?

It looks foolish to put all our eggs in the one basket of Jesus but that is the only way that works. Every other ground is sinking sound. Any other approach will make us miserable – losing from both worlds. You will notice that God’s demands are absolutes – you follow Him leaving all other loves.

What stands between giving YOUR ALL and YOUR GOD? 99% of our lives will never be enough. He wants all. The truth is He will have it – either now or later in eternity. Let us give our all to Him by submission so that He does not take it by collision.

Your song today and evermore should be, “Lord, I surrender all.”
