Surrender Your Will

If you were asked to surrender your will, would you? Probably not. But have you considered the countless times people do surrender their will every day? "No," you say, "I don't, and I never would!"

Well, think about how you surrender your will to the laws of nature. Do you argue with gravity, ignore friction, grab a live wire, lean to the left turning right?

People have learned to surrender to natural laws that they call laws of physics. But there is a natural law that virtually everybody on the planet has been ignoring.

While people eagerly surrender to familiar laws such as gravity and friction, sometimes a mistake is made. For example, if they lose their balance by slipping on a wet surface, everybody instinctively struggles to conform to the appropriate natural laws.

Early in the past century, a natural law of behavior was identified by the late Richard W. Wetherill. In 1952 he presented it in the book, Tower of Babel.

He called it the law of absolute right, and it specifies behavior that is rational and honest to replace choices based on people's likes and dislikes, wants and don't wants, judgments and beliefs, thereby, over time, forming their own plans of life.

Nature's law of absolute right states that right action gets right results, and if wrong results occur, the law was somehow contradicted.

What kinds of results are presently occurring? The news media daily report on the tragedies of international warfare, uprisings and riots, economic disasters, and afflictions labeled "cause unknown."

At this point you might be wondering, who thinks that conforming to a natural law could stop all those wrong results?

The answer comes from persons who have surrendered their will to creation's law of absolute right. They enthusiastically report right results occurring, as they drop old behavior patterns and respond rationally and honestly to whatever happens.

The nonprofit group financing this public-service message is telling people that their safety and security exist in trusting the laws of creation rather than trusting the laws and beliefs of human origin. Every natural law requires the action it calls for, thereby enabling the law to complete its rightful purpose.

That is easily observed when using gravity as an example. When people stumble and fall, they do not form criticisms of gravity. They are more likely to look around for someone or something to blame-occasionally their own carelessness.

But to achieve success at whatever activity or task they are engaged in, people know they must obey nature's laws of physics.

Prior to knowledge of those laws, people worshipped natural phenomena and/or idols. Centuries passed until people identified nature's laws, creating forces to safely guide their activities.

Think of natural laws as expressing the will of the creator, and thereby creation's plan of life for mankind. Rational and honest compliance is the surrender that enables people to resolve past mistakes, and provides them with a meaningful, productive future.
