Christians should be yielding to God?s direction and molding in their lives. Not my will but yours Lord. Have you yeilded your all? Have you submitted your will and way to God?s will and way in your life?
All children are faced at times with being either in submission or rebellion to their family leaders or parents. It is no different with the born again, Spirit sealed sons of God. Self will and rebellion brings discord to the family and robs the son of his Father?s blessing. A son with a submissive and cooperative spiritual will contributes harmony to the Father?s family and in the process receives blessings from a loving Father.
