The Great Duty of Resignation
By William Bates
This is a work on resigning oneself’s to God’s will, based on Jesus’ prayer in Mat 26:39 in the Garden of Gethsemane, when he submitted himself to whatever is God the Father’s will.
Matthew 26:39 – ‘And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.’

Arguments to convince us of this duty of resignation.
1. God’s supreme right over us.
2. His righteousness in all His ways.
3. His uncontrollable power.
4. His paternal love in sending afflictions.
It is proved from:
(1.) His gracious design in sending them.
(2.) His effectual support under them.
(3.) The happy issue out of them.
5. His infinite wisdom orders all things for the best.
Motives to persuade us of this duty of resignation.
1. The example of Christ in his suffereings.
2. The examples of the suffering saints in all ages.
3. All creatures obey the will of their Creator.
4. It is our most glorious perfection, to have our wills united to the divine will.
5. It is our felicity quietly to resign our wills to the will of God.
Directions how to perform this duty of resignation.
1. Faith in the divine providence and promises will compose the soul.
2. Let God be the supreme object of our affections.
3. Let us moderate our valuation of things below.
4. A prudent forecast of future evils will arm us with patience to sustain them.
5. Serious reflections upon our guilt and desert will suppress impatience.
6. Reflect upon blessings as well as evils.
7. Pray frequently and fervently for this disposition.
evc06 The Young Age of the Earth We explain why scientific evidence supports a young earth against evolutions long time spans. Evolutionists insist on extremely long time spans in earth's past and formation, because evolution "is not seen", i.e., there is no present evidence of the evolutionary theory process today. So they insert time such that no scientist can study it nor observe it. This tract clears this point up from a creationist's point of view. God formed the earth instantly, not over long time spans.

Buy me Steak Taco! You know, I work hard at my websites trying to provide you with good material that is sound doctrinally-speaking and of interest to God's people. It is hard work, but I don't mind doing it, and I feel called to the ministry, and God will bless me after all is said and done. But in the meantime, I do need to cover my expenses. I have a total of 34 websites (half English and half Spanish), and each one costs about $10 per month to keep up. That does not take into consideration my time and effort in writing content. Won't you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife this money so that we could enjoy eating out at least once in a while. (I pay the expenses for these sites out of our living expenses.) God will richly bless you and repay you for your generosity. 1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. If you received some value from my websites, consider at lest a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too though.
