The Power of Complete Surrender Day 2

Devotional

We often approach God with a sense of inadequacy. "I don't have enough time." "I don't have enough talent." "I don't have enough knowledge." These statements reflect our human tendency to focus on our limitations rather than God's limitless power. The widow in Mark's gospel could have easily made similar excuses. With just two small coins, she could have reasoned that her offering wouldn't make any difference. She could have kept one coin for herself and still given half of what she had. Instead, she gave everything, trusting God with her future. This act of complete surrender illustrates a powerful spiritual principle: when we bring our "not enough" to God and surrender it completely, He transforms it into "more than enough." Our inadequacy becomes the canvas on which God displays His sufficiency. Perhaps you're facing a situation today where you feel completely inadequate. Maybe it's a relationship that needs healing, a ministry opportunity that seems beyond your abilities, or a financial challenge that appears insurmountable. Remember that God isn't asking if what you have is enough—He's asking if you're willing to give it all to Him. When we surrender our inadequacy, God responds with His abundance. He doesn't expect us to have it all together; He simply asks for our willingness to trust Him with everything we have.

Bible Verse

"Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more money into the treasury than all the others." - Mark 12:43
