Submission

Key Points:

  • Choosing the right path begins with submission, not information. Submission to the One who knows what's best for you better than you know what is best for you.

  • In order to make the best decision now, we need much more information, common sense, or conventional wisdom. We need God. We need to live with a posture of dependency. We need to acknowledge him in all our ways.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge him;
and he will make your paths straight. (Prov. 3-5-6)
