SURRENDER
Charles Stanley once wrote in The Wonderful Spirit Filled Life:
In water-safety courses a cardinal rule is never to swim out to a
drowning man and try to help him as long as he is thrashing about. To
do so is to commit suicide. As long as a drowning man thinks he can
help himself, he is dangerous to anyone who tries to help him. His
tendency is to grab the one trying to aid him and take them both down
in the process. The correct procedure is to stay just far enough away so
that he can’t grab you. Then you wait. And when he finally gives up,
you make your move. At that point the one drowning is pliable. He
won’t work against you. He will let you help.
The same principle holds true in our relationship to God. Until we
give up, we aren’t really in a position to be helped. We will work against
Him rather than with Him.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven” (Matt. 5:3).
