“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God” (1 Corinthians 11:3).
Today’s verse reinforces yesterday’s devotion. Christ earned the right to set up the submission order. If the formula is followed, we will have a blissful marriage.
As a widow, I miss my husband. I was accountable to for 38 years. I let him be the head of our home, because I wanted to please him and make him happy. In return, I was well loved, and he supported whatever I did for the Lord. He never made me feel we were less than equals. Was our marriage perfect? I don’t think there is such a thing. But we worked hard to make ours the best it could be.
We all must answer to God. Failure to submit to Him can cause strain in other relationships. When all parties follow God’s order, imparted in today’s verse, there will be no submission problem.
