OBEY GOD

The word submission means "an act of yielding to the authority or control of another.

Do we at times want something so badly that we submit to doing anything to get it? Are we submitting to admiration? Possessions? Self? Food? Money? Pleasure?

In his epistle to the Romans, Paul said, "to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are the one's slaves" (6:16) When our desires "war" within us (James 4:1) we are to submit ourselves to God as "slaves of God" (Romans 6:22)

Humbling ourselves before the Lord (James 4:10) and asking him to show us our heart will help us to recognize our own submission problems. Anne Cetas

Lord help us to submit to You,

To follow and obey;

And give us strength to fight the urge

To do things our own way.- Sper

True freedom is not choosing our own way,

but in submitting to God's way.

Today's Bible Reading- James 4:1-10

Here is a little daily devotional I am really enjoying doing.

Hope you will enjoy it as well.

Here is a part on the one I read today...

So often we focus on small disappointments that cause us to grumble and complain rather than focusing on the wonderful things God had brought in our lives, not the least of which is His everlasting love and eternal salvation.

"Paul wrote in everything give thanks" (1 Thess. 5:18)

We may not be thankful for everything that comes our way, but we can give thanks in everything. It may be difficult to be grateful when we lose our job or our health fails, but we can be thankful for the good that God has brought to us in this life and grateful fro the life to come.

--David Roper

As endless as God's blessings are,

So should my praises be

For all His daily goodnesses

That flow unceasingly!

~Adams

Instead of being preoccupied with our problems,

let's praise the Lord for his blessings.

Today Bible Reading~

Psalm 42

OUR AWSOME GOD!

Have you ever stopped and REALLY thought about how AWSOME our GOD REALLY IS?

How AMAZING He REALLY IS?

GOD CREATED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EVERYTHING!!!........ EVERY T- H- I- N- G!!!!

He IS ABLE! ABLE to do ALL Things!

He is in control of every situation.

(BIG and small)

Are allowing him to be in control of your life? If your like me you may sometimes try to control a situation, only to end up in stress and disappointment? So why do we EVEN try? Just give it ALL to him today! He is THE CREATOR of EVERYTHING! He can handle it! Without him there would be nothing!

Think about that today...
