I just couldn't help but share what I've read last night. It's about two mountain goats who met each other on a precipitous path, one descending and the other ascending the trail. At first they backed off as if they would lunge at each other to fight for the path. This would have meant death for both of them. Then the goat below lay down in the path and allowed the one above to walk over his back. Then he got up again and both goats went safely on their way.
I wonder what would the world (or even just our country) be like if most (if not all) of the people would be like the goat below, willing to take the step of submission to one another out of reverence for Christ, the supreme example of submission.
But I myself, find it difficult sometimes to fully submit to God's will. How great it is to be able to say "Your will, Lord, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else" and completely let Him lead. Monday, September 12, 2005
