~ At Times Submission is Easy ~
At other
times submission is difficult!
The
following is an excerpt from a book.
Christ gave
you the example you are to follow in His total submission to the Father’s will.
In the same way, you as one of the Lord’s must be willing to do His
will—especially when it contradicts your own will. It is easy to obey His
commands and desires for you when they match your desires. It is in the time of
conflict between His will and your own desires that your faith is tested.
Insanity
involves a break with reality. Spiritual insanity occurs when Christians behave
as if the Christian life is a continual feast of doing their own thing.
Instead, you must accept the cross and pray as Jesus did, “not My will, but
Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42).
When you
pray like He prayed, eagerly accepting His will including the cross of
submission to that will, you will know the strengthening and comfort that He
knew. The Father sent an angel to strengthen Jesus and He has sent the Holy
Spirit to comfort and strengthen you.
