"Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6
Submission is a very hard thing to do. I really think that I know best. Webster defines Submission as..."an act of submitting to the authority or control of another.." I have proven time after time that when I insert my will (my own desire to control) into His -I just mess things all up. I'm pretty good at that. Over the past few weeks I've had a lot of time to really reflect and meditate on His Word. God keeps showing me that same thing over and over again--I gotta give up control!! Submission is just what Webster said....giving over ALL authority and control over to not just any person, but to MY Creator, Father, Savior, and Friend.
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Psalm 23:1-6
