It’s tough for today’s woman to understand the subservient role women played in biblical cultures and emulate it today. Subservience doesn’t mean women should be doormats. Rather, it is a submission like Christ exhibits with the Father by following His example and willingly becoming subordinate to “the big picture.” Submitting to a husband is merely seeking the right path side by side with a scriptural map.
HOW DO YOU RELATE?
Read Ephesians 5:21-33. If you are married, pray for God to reveal to you how you can submit to your husband as the church should submit to Christ. If you are widowed or divorced, prayerfully consider how your marriage was influenced positively or negatively by your concept of submission. If you are single, pray for your ability to submit to a future mate or your ability to submit more fully to Christ. Make notes on your prayers.
