Submit, Trust, Obey
From Elder Mike Harris
There are so many benefits to being a child of God, they are really innumerable. The promises of God are so much more than we could even ask or think. However, in order to access the benefits package, there are a few things that we need to do. First off, we need to submit everything to God.
SUBMIT
JAMES 4:7-8, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you."
ROMANS 10:3, "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."
1 PETER 5:5-6, "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time."
TRUST
1 PETER 5:7, "Casting all your care upon HIm; for He careth for you."
PROVERBS 3:5-8, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."
OBEY
Christ said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). In Matthew 28:19-20, He says to teach all nations to keep His comandments. Many times in the Bible, God says that "If you will... then I will [...]." Be obedient to do whatever God tells you to do and watch His blessings flow.
