The "S" word, Submit

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  

Eph 5:22

As wives we are told to submit to our husbands, as unto the Lord.

If God told you to stop working in Sunday School, would you?

What if your husband asked you?

If God asked you to have supper ready when he got there, even after a long tiring day, would you?

What if your husband asked you?

If God told you to do something, anything, would you argue with him, or pout, or question his authority?

What is your response to your husband?

We are told to submit to our husbands, as unto the Lord.  God has made our husbands our leaders.,and he has told us to follow them.

We obey and honor God when we obey and honor our husbands.

Do you believe that God knows what he is doing and will take care of you?

He knows what your husband will say and do.

He has still asked you to submit to your man.

Challenge

-Critically look at how you respond to your husband.  

Do you have a negative attitude when he expresses his wishes or thoughts?  

Do you ask him if he's sure about his decisions?

Do you manipulate him with your questions, bible verses, subtle hints, etc?

Would you rather have a fair marriage, or a happy one?
