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.
