One of our family mottos is “Don’t tell me what to do!”  (Note that the exclamation point is ALWAYS included!)  We abhor obedience, take determined pride in cutting our own paths through the jungles of life, and get wistful looks on our faces when we hear the Frank Sinatra song, “My Way.”

 

Well, I’ve done it my way for years, and  I have to confess that the self-directed roads I’ve chosen have all led to brick walls, to some great successes with only passing joy, as well as to some very major clock cleanings.  So, I admit that I’ve grown tired of my way.  Having tried every other path and option, I am finally learning … no, not to bow down and submit to the will of God, but to joyfully and confidently seek and embrace His way as the only way, the best way. 

 

My point:  Victory through surrender!  (Note exclamation point!)  I don’t know how it works, but it does.  So, for those among us who are tired of stubbornly doing it our own way and who want a better path, try God’s way.  Works for me!    – jri
