Still thinking of submitting
Hmmm it's still on my mind tonight, about submitting.. but i'm not so sure people like this subject. But perhaps there is a great benefit to it, because it's mentioned so many times in the bible.. Read this: 1 Pet 5:55 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.(KJV)
Perhaps there is value in submitting to your friends.. especially you younger ones. Most of the time, the younger are only concerned for the welfare of their friends and can see when you are going astray. I think it will be best to really consider what your friends are saying. Even if it pricks your conscience. Isn't that what Christ said to Saul on his trip to Damascus.. "Saul, Saul, why do you kick against the pricks. Saul's conscience was bothering him, but yet in his mind, he was determined he was right, even when he was wrong.. hmmmm
Sometimes, i try to warn others, of things in their lives that are not right, but they keep insisting they are ok. or they will hide those things from others. Yet, God, in His Mercy, has sent a warning. I think it will be better in our live if we listen. Even if it's hard on us.. to admit, the other could be right.
I think the Spirit of GOD really wants to help us get in the right place in life in this planet, if we will listen to those around us. It would save a lot of agony.
Many years ago, I spoke a word of the Lord to a young lady who was planning to marry. "that man you think is to be your husband is the wrong one. The Lord says don't do it." But that lady ignored the Word given to her. In two years, she was beaten, abused, and finally she divorse the man. God was trying to save her all that heartache. It was so sad to see it all happen..
So let's try to take God's advice, and do a little submitting to those around you who are friends.... It could save a lot of heartache.. and you.. you should be honest to your friends if you think something is wrong.. even if you don't want to say it... just be bold. It may save them some heartache if they will listen.. you can still be friends..
Remi..keep your peace in believing in Christ!
