I've been quite frustrated by Concordia's new policy that no computer user would have administrative access to their own computer; the university's computer technicians have to come and install any software for us that we might need. Since I install software almost every day (especially now that I'm just getting back to the swing of things), this means I'm limited from doing a lot of things on my work computer. The Lord has already shown me that I need to be headed up in this matter, and realize that I am under the authority of my school's computer policies. As long as I see man, then I will be frustrated by the restriction. But when I see that these men are making arrangements under God's authority, then I see that this is God's governmental arrangement for me. So, I need to see God, not man.

Well, praise the Lord, in Psalm 45, there is a beautiful picture of Christ!

Psa 45:3  Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O mighty One, In Your majesty and Your splendor.
Psa 45:4  And in Your splendor ride on victoriously Because of truth and meekness and righteousness; And let Your right hand teach You awesome deeds.

Christ goes forth in victory, because of truth and meekness and righteousness. Meekness stood out to me. He is victorious because of His meekness, because He submits to God's arrangement, accepting less than what is His due, and not insisting on His rights, or on what He feels are His rights. I need to fix my eyes on such a fair and lovely Christ, on such a victorious, overcoming Christ. I cannot be such a person in myself, regardless what I know concerning divine authority. I need to behold this lovely One who alone is meek. I need to eat Him, and let Him live His meek life in me. Thus, I too will ride forth in His splendid victory.
