Give Up Your Keys

Surrender. Such a common word that packs such a powerful meaning. What does it mean to surrender? What does it look like to give up control? Before I could drive, I never realized what a huge responsibility that it is. Now that I can drive, I realize how many times that I don't want to give up the keys. I don't want to release the control that I would have if I were driving. I went to Colorado with a college group the other day and I realized that I had to give up my control. I had to surrender my fears and trust that the driver would get us there safely. You never think about it, but as I looked around in the van, I realized that everyone was sleeping. They trusted the driver and surrendered. It is the same thing in our lives. We have to trust God and surrender ourselves so he can take control of our life. We have to give up our keys and let him lead. Surrender.
