My QT learning:1 Peter 2:15
We r all natural-born rebels. We also have 2 built-in resistance 2 submission. Submission has a terrible reputation these days, so it's hard 2 get even sincere ppl 2 consider it seriously. But when properly understood & applied, submission replaces e pain & strife of our natural rebellion & increases our joy.
Blessing & favour come 2 e person who lives in submission. God's will is "that by doing good u shld put 2 silence e ignorance of foolish ppl" (1 Peter 2:15). Do right & silence e ignorance of foolish men. It's by doing right, trusting GOD, waiting upon HIM, & living a life of biblical submission.
Submission 2 authority is like living under an umbrella. When we choose 2 submit, we put ourselves under GOD's protection. Tt's a wonderful place 2 live our lives. Some bad things may be coming down, but submission is a covering. It's our place of protection. e promises of GOD do not extend 2 us when we choose 2 live as a rebel. However, when we choose 2 live under e umbrella of GOD's protection by submitting 2 HIS plans & doing wat is right, all e promises & blessings of GOD r ours in abundance. =) I've been paid for in FULL 8:45 PM
