“Submit yourselves therefore to God…” (James 4:17a).
For some reason the word “submit” seems to bring out negative feelings as couples finalize wedding plans. Maybe it’s because they haven’t truly submitted their lives to God. Doing so will make a difference in how they view submission in other relationships.
God instituted marriage. If both members of a couple have committed their lives to God, there will be a mutual respect. They can work together as equals.
We are admonished in our verse to submit our will over to His. He wants what is best for us and takes care of our daily needs. Why wouldn’t we want to transfer our trust to Him?
