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.
