In all your ways, submit to Him and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:6
When I was a little child I dreamed of the day I would no longer have to submit to the rules and requirements of dependance. Mom chose my clothes and diet, school dictated my thoughts and freedoms, and living in community and family demanded certain gives and takes, whether willing or hostile. I longed for my age of freedom. It never came. However, my focus of submission became razor sharp.
This world is full of people and things that demand your submission. Guilt, shame and manipulation are their strongest tools. But, let’s be clear, clarity begins with a sighted lens on One, The One, and His yoke is much easier than the world’s.
The word ‘submit’ is synonymous with ‘acknowledge’ and ‘honor.’ The greatest honor is to acknowledge and trust, in all your ways and in all you have.
God is worthy and faithful.
