Perfect submission...

Women, hear God’s word to you.

“Submit” is considered a dirty word by most today. It conjures up the abuses of evil men. It recalls days of inequality and repression. It does not fit the 21st century or so you’ve been told.

In reality, there is nothing more womanly than submitting yourself to your Lover King’s oversight and direction. There is no loss to fear. Jesus loves you deeply. He has your best interest in mind. He wants to keep you from harm, to protect you, to rescue you, to save you. Submitting it is the right, noble, good, godly thing to do.

For your own sake, turn from evil. For the good of your husband, submit to Jesus. For the benefit of your daughters, believe and be saved.

Listen. “Submit yourselves…to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” (James 4:7-10, NIV)

Be one of those Jesus lifts up, gently and without condemnation as he did the woman caught in adultery. Show your children how to submit to God’s rule. Be one of those to whom God draws near. Draw your friends to God. Be one who purifies her heart.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” (Matthew 5:8, NIV)

“Submit” is not a dirty word. Esther submitted and saved a nation. Mary submitted and became the mother of our Savior. Lydia submitted and her whole household believed.

“Repent and believe the good news!”
