Today I had to do something that went TOTALLY against who I am in the world. I pray that my actions today glorified God. My flesh SCREAMED out but alas, the Holy Spirit shined through me today. I have learned that just because I don't agree with man, I am ordained by God to follow man's law. Even if I do not agree with it, I have to adhere to it unless it goes against the Glory of the Word.

I am learning to submit to the will of God. I am praying about submission because I truely believe the lack of will to submit is the world's biggest weapon. Submission is not a control issue. It is a willing issue. We must all submit to the will of God even if we don't want to, even if we do not agree. The Word is the only constant in this world. If we are true to the Word and we submit to the Spirit of the Word, God will be glorified. It takes a lot more SELF CONTROL to submit to the Will of God than I ever thought. I am accountable to man through Christ. And thus, by following man, I have glorified my father.

Does anyone else have trouble submitting and fighting the will of the flesh? I feel like it is a constant battle between my flesh and my spirit. Scripture tells me it is, but I just hate that I feel it so strongly sometimes. I know in the end God will reward my behavior but man, this is really hard!
