| Dear Young Christian: |
| Here is a good verse and prayer to consider this week: “Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth” (Psalm 86:11). How good it is to submit to His way! |
| James Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, is reputed to have said, “The greatest mission in the world is submission!” |
| This quote reminded me of the reply of George Washington’s mother to a distinguished French officer who at a banquet, asked her how she managed to raise such a splendid son. “Sir,” she replied, “I taught him to obey.” |
| Submission to the claims of Christ brings remission of sins, and admission into the family of God as His child. Submission throughout our Christian life brings happiness, fruit, and a good testimony. The Lord said to the disciples just before He left them, “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them” (John 13:17). In a world where we’re taught to demand our rights and to have our own way, let’s learn to obey! |
