We reviewed acts of submission from the Bible. David when he crept into Saul's camp while he was sleeping had the opportunity to kill Saul and eliminate the continual threat on his life but submitted to God's authority since God placed Saul as king. It would be God who would remove Saul, not David. That took strength. When Daniel refused to bow to the pagan gods which could have gotten him killed, he was submitting to God's authority over him and not man. That took strength. Ultimately, when Christ willingly went to the cross in submission to the Father, at tremendous cost to himself. That took strength.
Submission is a sign of strength and not weakness. You must trust, truly trust, the one you are in submission to before you can submit without hesitation.
God never fails us and we can put our trust in Him without holding back. In doing so, we will find the peace for which so many people are seeking.
