Submission

Job 26:14 — And these are but the outer fringe of His works; how faint the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?

O Lord,

how did You create everything,

out of nothing?

How can it be,

that before anything was,

You already were?

Why,

in the fullness of Yourself,

did You create me?

O,

how my soul longs for things,

so much greater than it can comprehend.

Yet,

did You not create me,

to wonder, O endless Creator,

to marvel at Your handiwork?

I rejoice in meditating,

on You, Lord;

I am content in knowing,

I will never fully understand,

Your ways.

When I consider the mysteries of the universe,

I am deeply glad,

that You are God,

and I am just me.

O, the sweet satisfaction,

the everlasting contentment of my soul,

in complete submission to You, Lord.

Amen.
