“Submit to God and be at peace with Him, in this way prosperity will come to you.”

Submitting to God is a profound recognition that we are no longer the masters of our own lives. It is a surrender to His sovereignty, acknowledging Him as our ruler and king. While we still have the freedom to make decisions, they are guided by His will, His word, and His way.

Submitting to God is not just a theoretical concept, but a practical lifestyle. It means allowing His word to be the compass that guides our decisions, especially those that shape our interactions with His children. It involves aligning our behavior in all situations with His teachings, and letting our relationship with Him influence our responses.

Submitting to God’s rule is not just about obedience, it’s about aligning your interests with His. It means never acting or thinking in a way that goes against Him. To maintain this alignment, keep a constant dialogue with Him through prayer. Focus your thoughts on heavenly matters. This will bring you a sense of peace, keeping you calm, balanced, and composed.

Resolve yourself to be ruled by God, and your well-being and maintenance will come from Him. Your emotions will be stable and your temperament peaceful, a result of the security and peace that come from trusting in God’s integrity. Being at peace means acceptance and willingness to commit your concerns to God by trusting His integrity.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in a world where everyone is kind and compassionate to one another? Can you imagine a world where we all just forgave each other easily, like Christ forgave us? How wonderful would the world be if everyone practiced kindness, compassion, and forgiveness? It would be paradise! Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in.

We are “in the world and not of the world,” God has a greater expectation of us than those who do not know Christ. Let’s begin by spending our days with friendly, generous, and considerate acts toward others. Our thoughts should be understanding and charitable, always giving the benefit of the doubt to anyone with whom we come into contact  .

Our journey with Christ persuades us to feel empathy and sadness for the suffering and unfortunate circumstances of others. Following Christ compels us to find a way to reduce the suffering of others. Are we our brother’s keeper? Of course, we are! God uses our arms and hands to reach out to others.

We are to forgive and let go of anger and bitterness towards anyone. Start today to release grudges, cancel any emotional debt you hold against anyone, and watch how much better YOU feel! Make a clean break with any feelings that prevent you from freely loving others as Christ loves you. The call to compassion compels you to do so.

Finally, “Be kindly affectioned one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another even as God for Christ’s sake forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32
