"To submit to God is to give up ourselves to be
governed by his will and pleasure, our thoughts, our counsels, our affections,
our actions must be guided according to the strict rules of His Word…Are we
willing to give ourselves up to his will without reservation?
It
involves handing ourselves over to the disposal of God’s providence…Discontent
is clearly rebellion; we want our will done, and not God’s. When we complain, God and we contend; his
will must be done to us as well as by us.
The
nobleness of surrender. Submission seems
base, but to God it is noble…There is no baseness in the act, but there is much
glory in the reward."
(Thomas Matton)
