Oh, believers, come to-day; come out of all your troubles, and all your
self-efforts and your self-confidence, and let the blessed Son of God
take possession.
Let me direct your thoughts, lastly, to the duration of this surrender. I
want to emphasize this--because in many cases the surrender does not last.
Some go away, and for a time have much gladness and joy, but it soon begins
to decrease, and in a few weeks or perhaps months is all gone. Others who
do not lose it entirely, complain sadly at times, that it goes away and
comes again. They say: "My life has been very much blessed since that
surrender I made to God, but it has not always been on the same level."
What did Potiphar do? We read in the 4th verse: "He made him overseer over
his house, and all that he had he left in Joseph's hands." What a simple
word! He left it there.
And oh, children of God, if you will only get to that point and say, "For
all eternity I leave it in the hands of Jesus," you will find what a
blessing it is. Potiphar found now that he could do the king's business
with two hands and an undivided heart.
