Isaiah 50:4-9a
Dr. Tom Barnard writes that in the spiritual life, there are things that belong together, like perfectly-matched oars. Two of the more important ones are surrender and service. They go together. Surrender without service is hollow piety. Service without surrender is sterile duty. Try activating one without the other, and the spiritual cruise will result in circle making. No significant gain will result from such foolish exercise.
