"Therefore submit to God. " (in James 4:7)
Now . . . how You have us submitting to you, submissive the way You mean for us to be submissive, not how we can get ourselves to feel and think we are submitting to You, O God our Father.
Thank You so much
We discover how we become because of You making us submissive to You in Your peace > how You personally rule each of us in our "hearts" in Your peace >
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)
This is "in one body"; so we are not by ourselves, each submitting to You; but You change us to be how You please, plus You personally guide every one of us in coordination with Jesus on the throne and with one another, as one body.
So, this is not what we can know how to do, what to will and do, but we totally depend on You and Your perfect work in us.
sweet tender personally sharing joy with You, not just a feeling
not just excitement but delighting in You
And those who seek You shall not lack any good thing > discovering all the good things which You mean, not only what we can wish and expect and demand and fail to get, then beat ourselves up and beat up others because we do not get what we dictate. But seek You for Yourself.
"But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing." (Psalm 34:10)
We share with You Yourself. So, we share in all that is of You, as we grow in Jesus >
"to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:19)
So, this is where our attention needs to be, with You creative to create in our lives, today, the loving You please, and this with each other even though we do not see one another. All is family, today . . . sharing, as much as we are obeying You in Your all-loving love.
amen, in the name of Jesus Your Son delighting You and so sharing with us
So, how are we because of how God changes us, corrects us, to be truly submissive to Him in our spirit?
"rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Peter 3:4)
Jesus is "gentle and lowly in heart", He says in Matthew 11:28-30. So, God has us being gentle and humble like how Jesus is submissive to our Father. Jesus in us shares this with us, how He is submissive by being gentle and humble.
And God is quiet . . . never silent. But our noise can keep us from hearing and sharing with God and personally submitting to Him. It could be the noise of how we are praying, getting our own selves to pray. God can hear what we are thinking; possibly what we are thinking is the prayer that God hears.
So, be with God, instead; "and you will find rest for your souls." (in Mathew 11:28-30)
And be ready for loving, today. Do not rehearse and try to control what will happen with each person; but trust God, depend on God. Halleluiah, glory to You in the highest ! ! !
