“He
did deliver me from bondage” p. 115, Day 1
“Becometh as a child” means to me is a
process of humbling gradually by continual submission. We are Heavenly Father’s children and if we
are to do as Christ, then we too must be about our Father’s work. During my day when I need help trying to
figure out how to discipline the children it’s a matter of “Do I ask ‘What do
you want me to do’?” so that I can
respond or do I react as the natural man by the arm of the flesh. When I think of being “willing to submit in
all things” I imagine a twig floating
down the river who is happy to go by the flow instead of trying to go against
God’s will. Or I can imagine a bendy straw
that I can put into just the right position that I want it to be. If we are willing to submit in all things
then we trust God explicitly to know that He knows best and He wants us to be
happy and that He is leading us there.
If we can stand in the narrow way we can have joy in all things because
we have perfect hope of deliverance.
With that perfect brightness of hope we will feel the peace now as if it
was then. (This is what Leslie
Householder teaches - to visualize what you want and feel gratitude for it as
if you already have it. Then you are
able to be lead to the things to do in order to get it, with peace or to have a
genius idea that will get you there.
It’s because we feel peace that we are led to the harvest. We have to choose to believe. See Jackrabbit Factor)
