Daily Surrender psalmas 119:107
Psa 119:107 KJV I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
Have you thought that your Christianity would spare you the fiery trials of this life? Have you thought that it would give you a "protégé" status with God? My, oh my! I would dare say that Christianity rather secures tribulations in this world. We may not "drink" the Lord's cup, nor be "baptized" of His baptism (Mat 20:22), but if we receive Him in this world, and live Him with integrity, we shall certainly be as He was: a man of sorrow, afflicted, persecuted, reviled and martyred for the cause (Is 53). He said that "The servant is not greater than his Lord" (John 15:20)!
My friend, do you feel like you are dying daily (1 Cor 15:31)? Do daily tasks and responsibilities weigh heavy on you? Yes, I am talking to you, you who may be striving daily in a dysfunctional situation due to sickness, financial troubles, family issues, but yet, who does not give up. Like King David, you have sworn yourself to perform the commandment of the Lord (Psa 119:106) and no matter what the cost, you will continue to the end to faithfully fulfill your responsibilities.
As you feel yourself at the end of your rope and dying, call on the LORD for quickening. As resurrection cannot come until death occurs, He cannot quicken us until we have died to our own strength.
He giveth more grace When the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength When the labors increase. To added affliction He addeth His mercy, To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure, His pow'r has no boundary
Known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth, and giveth, And giveth again!
When we have exhausted Our store of endurance, When our strength has failed Ere' the day is half done, When we reach the end of our Hoarded resources, Our Father's full giving is only begun.
1Pe 4:12-13 KJV Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: (13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
