Moses, who overcame the old age belief to the extent of manifesting the physical body of a young man in the prime of life when, according to the calendar, he was one hundred and twenty years old, and then transcended matter altogether, or “dematerialized” without dying; was known preeminently for this quality; “as meek as Moses.” Apart from his own personal demonstration, Moses also did a marvelous work for his whole nation, getting it out of Egyptian bondage in the face of incredible difficulties. Moses had an open mind, ready to be taught new things and new ways of thinking and working. He was not, in the beginning at least, free from serious faults of character, but he gradually rose above these defects as the new truth worked in his soul.
Moses thoroughly understood that to conform oneself rigorously to the will of God, far from involving the loss of any good, could only mean a better and more splendid life. He did not, therefore, think of his task as self-sacrifice, for he knew it to be the highest form of self-glorification; the glorification of God.
…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. I am in the Father, and the Father is in me (John 14:10-11).
There is a marvelous Oriental saying that “meekness compels God himself.”
The bottom line is that we must choose whether to conform ourselves to the will of God or to our own will. We will surrender to God or will surrender to that which plagues us. We will rise above the self-centered human will to claim our freedom and joy, or will sink into the self and lose our inheritance of love, hope and faith.
The good news is that we don’t have to become perfect today or ever. All we must do is to decide that we will follow God’s will and be willing to learn and live God’s will to our best ability. Then, God’s will finds expression in this plane through us. Then, all things will be possible. Then, the universe aligns itself to our needs. Then, God will direct our words, thoughts and deeds so as to ensure our best good. Then, we can walk in our gardens with God in peace and plenty; free of fear and filled with love.
In surrender,

This is beautiful- but it would be better if you honored the source of these words. They were written by Emmet Fox in his book The Sermon on the Mount on page 29 and 30. If you let people know where the words come from, they can go and read the book for themselves. Just sayin… Love and Peace to you!
The sources are explained in the “About” page. Thank you for sharing and for caring. Z.
