Today: Humble Submission

“You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist
the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on
the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:38-39

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place.

For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.”
Matthew 26:52

There’s a time where calm comes into our lives as men.

A time when we finally submit to God’s authority and
His plan. We begin to realize that we are no longer
the self-made man the world tells us we are, but instead
that the Lord has crafted and gifted everything that we have
and that we are.

Giving up your strength to God, relying only on His wisdom

and power. It’s a humbling thing, but it’s the greatest gift we
could ever possibly give him. So we do it with praise, we do it
while we worship. While we’re happy and while we’re ticked
off to no end, we give it up to Him, and it makes everything ok.
