The Mentor’s Table podcast | S1E2: Surrendering Even When You KNOW Better
PLAY THE EPISODE
In today’s episode, we’re going to step on some of my fellow recovering-control-freak’s toes. We’ll start with Jesus asking Simon (Peter) to lower his nets in the sea after he’s been fishing all night and caught nothing. As a fisherman by trade, Peter KNOWS BETTER, yet he answers, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets” (Luke 5:5 esv).
When we’re talking about God’s invitation to surrender, there is no caveat that says we can wait until it starts to make sense to us.
How About You?
Which of your past experiences does Peter’s example trigger in your memory?
Do you still find yourself hung up on waiting for the understanding to come before the surrender?
Are there any practices/habits you have implemented that have helped you be able to surrender before you understood the why?
