#SUBMISSION TO THE WILL
OF GOD
Recently I came across few lines that said “SUBMISSION TO
THE WILL OF GOD WITH ABSOLUTE TRUST IN THE REDEEMING LOVE OF THE CHRIST”
These lines made me think how many of us are actually ready
to submit everything to the will of God and sit carefree in one’s life. In
today’s world of cut throat competition where each second is invested to yield
a million or to acquire power “Submission” sound silly. We all are backed by
targets and are constantly under comparison in all spheres of our life. Right
from the day the child is born to the time he grows up to become nothing less
than a doctor or an engineer and gets settled in UK or US ; in short becomes
rich and famous.
We put in all our efforts, accept all unconventional and wrong
ways just and just to be successful. We are more or less successful in this
race and in the flow we forget to give our Lord, the Provider the importance
that is deserved unless and until the day comes when things start getting
wrong; there is depression and calamities, health problems, diseases etc and we
start crying for help from # God.
The entire world is
going through a bad time viz inflation, war, rising crime especially against
women. In the race to succeed we have no time to inculcate the values in our
children who are the future.
For
eg. We have so many families who stay separately; father works abroad, mother
works in some part of the country and the child is with the grandparents or relatives
in some other part of the earth. The concept of a family no longer exists or is
diminishing. Isn't this one of the major reason for the rising crime?? There is
no respect towards father, mother or towards ones siblings. All this is just to
earn an extra penny. Is it worth
doing all this??
We need to work to survive; after all we are living in a
society but sacrificing your family just for your career or to earn a little
extra is not justified. If we are supposed to shine we will shine
anyways in some way or the other. Things will follow if we are protected
under the shadow of Almighty.
The scripture says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is
sufficient for thee” and we need to have faith in it. The fact is that things
are not under our control. The Lord our God has given a desire to know the
future but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does.
All that we can do to be happy is to do our best while we are still alive
without expecting anything in return because you cannot add or take away anything from this earth.
Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 1 says” Everything that happens in
this world happens at the time God chooses”. He has set a time for everything
and nothing can happen in this world without his consent”. These lines were an
eye opener for me. We are all on this planet for some purpose. God has a plan
for each one of us before we are sent on this earth.
Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 4 says “I chose you before I gave you
life and before you were born”. We are the children of God and we are all meant
to shine, as his children. We are born to manifest the glory of God within us.
It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. We should all work towards it.
Once we start the hands of God Almighty will guide us…..
