Submitting yourself
Oh, what a word.. hmmm and it's such a word that we really don't like.. submit.. But, in 1 Peter 2:13, we are told to sumit ourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.. and the it continues.. here's the good part... "For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; as free, and not using our liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.. wow..
Well, really, then it's God's will that by our doing good, we will avoid punishment for doing evil. Oh, just like a father, always finding ways to protect His children. Sometimes, i'd rather just take my money and go to the casino and play all night. Gambling away all i earn. But then, i find another part of me not wanting to give my hard earned money to some peoples just so they can sit in nice houses while i sit in a shack.
So, to find something good to do, i've found some eager students, willing to spend a few years submitting to their teachers in college, and i give to them. And trust God to watch over them and keep them in their studies when they too are tempted to do some evil.... cause we're really all the same. We have good desires and some evil desires and there's a war going on in our flesh all the day long. The students as well as myself have the problems in this world.
"for this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.. yeah. sometimes i'm persecuted for what i do with my extra money, but i'll endure it, cause i know that it's changing lives and affecting those who are just beginning. I'll get my thanks from the Lord cause i know it's my reward coming, my harvest on the seeds i've sown..
And it's my hope, that those i've helped will one day help others, as well as that the Lord will add to my ability to help others and entrust me with more for my future plans. These dreams i've acted upon now, where in my heart 40 years ago when i'm just in Vocational-Technical school studying hard and dreaming of my future.. and now it's come to pass..
Oh yeah, i've been punished by the law when i broke the law, and i found mercy when i'm repenting from those things.... and yet, the God of Mercy has helped me all those years..... to He can bless people through my life... won't you give him a chance with you??? Because in your heart, there is sooooo much desire to do good.. and dreams... yet to be fulfilled.
"for he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they speak no guile: let him eschew (run from) evil and do good; let him seek peace and ensue it.. Blessings in your day today and alwayz
