Submission is a word that seems ugly in our culture. Our society is fiercely independent. It seems like the more you don’t seem to need anyone, the more people admire you. But if you have ever gone through tragedy, you know that life can be full of unexpected trials. What we need to do, then, is submit to God. Why? Because He sees the big picture, and therefore we can trust His hand to guide us. This act of trust takes submission.

The way you’re living now, what guides your decisions? Does God get any say in the way you navigate life?

God has made us to submit to His care, and when we do, it brings peace to our lives. When you realize that God not only has the map to your life but also offers His loving touch to guide you through it, you will find that submitting to and trusting in Him is truly the best way to live.
