Which flag am I flying?
The lesson today is entitled “Abiding by Passenger Protocol”.  This morning I have lingered over the question, “Which flag flies most often over my living–the red flag of resistance or the white flag of surrender?”  We have a familiar saying when our intuition has sensed that something just isn’t right. We will say about that situation, “That raises a red flag for me”. Â
Spiritually, when I am discontent, disquieted rather than quieted about a circumstance, chaffing and frustrated, wanting to change things faster than 
they are changing–the red flag of resistance has been raised! At that moment, I am under the delusion that I am in control and will resist the way things really are to work them into the way I think I want them to be! That is not Passenger Protocol–that is Pilot Protocol!  It is at times like these that I want to remember who the Pilot of my life is and lower the red flag of resistance in favor of the restful freedom of the white flag of surrender.
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In his presence daily live.I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me Jesus, take me now.I surrender all, I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
