[The Glory Unveiled]
In all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight ( Proverbs 3:6 )
Underneath every act of God is the word “glory”. Glory is the reason that underlines the person of God and His sovereignty. We could even dare to say that the glory of God is the visible “purpose” of God. As a result, there is no act of God that does not announce God’s glory or expose it in one way or the other. The acid test for what is of God is that, it exudes the glory of God. And for God to have His glory attributed to Himself, He ensures that the arm of man does not assist in the execution of what only He could do. This is why in our anchor verse for today, we are told to submit to God in all our ways. And again, it is not our ways God wants us to submit but rather ourselves (our lives). God wants us to submit ourselves to Him to do everything (ways) through us. When we submit to God wholly, we begin to mirror His attributes. We begin to live and talk like Him. Our ways and path will be straight; devoid of unnecessary curves and turns that could deflect our focus from Him. Let us live submitted lives. Our lives should continually and perpetually be submitted to the owner of our lives, God.
Prayer_Bead: Gracious Father, Lord and Maker of all things, you deserve all praise and glory. I submit my life and my ways to you, today and everyday. You’re my Lord.
