Romans 6:19 (NIV)
19 I am using an example from everyday life because
of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to
impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves
to righteousness leading to holiness.
We have heard the modern expression, “Don’t fight it-it’s
bigger than both of us.” Those who are meek do not fight back at life. They
learn the secret of surrender, or yielding to God. He then fights for us!
Instead of filling your mind with resentments, abusing your body by sinful
diversion, and damaging your soul by willfulness, humbly give all over to God.
Your conflicts will disappear and your inner tensions will vanish into thin
air. Then your life will begin to count for something. You will have the
feeling of belonging to life. Boredom will melt away, and you will become
vibrant with hope and expectation. Because you are meekly yielded, you will
begin to “inherit the earth” of good things, which God holds in store for all
who trust Him with their all.
Thought for today: Can I let go of things and trust that God
will work them out?
