I Surrender none?

Picture this scene in your mind:
It is April 1865. General Robert E. Lee has left the house in Appomattox, VA, where he has surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. He says his farewell to his tired and hungry soldiers, turned his horse Traveler, and headed home.
The next day, he changes his mind. He decides to race Traveler back to Appomattox and fight again. His soldiers have already been given rations from the US Army, their primary weapons have been taken, but they have weapons for hunting. Some have already headed home. Yet the General wishes to fight.
Wouldn't that be a stupid decision?
Of course it would.
Follower of Christ, how many times have you sang that you surrender all of your life to Him? How often do you say that "I have given Him everything?" Then how often do you immediately take the issue that you have committed to Christ and obsess over it?
If you think it would have been foolish for General Lee to fight without his army, how much more foolish is it to fight against the Creator of the universe who wants to help you achieve a victory that He already won?
Check out 1 Peter 5:6-8-
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,  casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.  Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (ESV)
He wants you to surrender your cares to Him. His desire is not that you struggle, but that you overcome. Lean on Him. He is greater than the true enemy that is in the world (I John 4:4). Pastor Steven Furtick said a couple of weeks ago: "God always refers to the battles that we are about to face in the past tense."
When you surrender something to God, let go of it. Do not go back after it. If you have given it to Him, trust Him in the circumstance. It is not easy. In that time, lean on Him even more. He will complete the work.
I needed that today. Anyone else?
