“I said, Not so Lord.” This is the wrong mix. These two ingredients will never blend together. It is either a “Not so,” or “Lord”; but not both. The little cliché is right that says, “If He’s not Lord of all, then He’s not Lord at all.”
Someone said to me once, about their pet, that he was very “territorial.” I looked up the definition. It means, “An assigned area, under the jurisdiction of a ruler.” God has a lot of children who are “territorial.” They like to say to the Lord about areas in their lives, what He said to the sea: “Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further.” I might add, we are also guilty of saying such to loved ones and friends.
When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, then God doesn’t own it. Like the loaves, Christ only blesses what is placed into His hands. Jesus did this with His Father all His earthly life. Even unto death, when He uttered with His last breath, “Into thy hands I commit…” From my hand to Thy hand, that’s the only safe deposit!
