Submit.

To learn to be led...


Job 22:21 -- Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.


I need to learn how to truly submit my will to His and follow Him no matter where He leads and no matter how I perceive what He is doing. It shouldn't matter how my timeline sees what He is doing...all that should matter is that He loves me, and He loved me enough to save me. He rescued me from the depths of despair, yet here I am worrying that He won't do what He says He can do...Who am I? Who am I but His servant?


Matthew 23:11-12 -- The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.


Practicing this actively now will also (possibly...) make it easier once I hit this step...


Ephesians 5:22 -- For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.


Because I want to embody Proverbs 31....and this verse in particular...


Proverbs 31:12 -- She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.


I have so much I want to do and feel led to do, but God brings everything together at the right time and I must wait on Him. I must stop asking Him to bless what I want and get on board with what He is doing...


Psalm 62:5 -- Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.


Ephesians 1:10 -- And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ -- everything in heaven and on earth.


1 Peter 4:19 -- So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you.
