For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. 1John 5:3
DEVO THOUGHT:
Submission is a term that has been grievously distorted because there are men who have used the word as a weapon to club their wives rather than as a hammer to build their homes. When God tells the wife to submit to her husband, He also tells the husband to love his wife (Ephesians 5:22-25). When God tells children to obey their parents, He also instructs the fathers " to provoke not your children to wrath: but to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4). When God tells you to submit to Him, it's for your good (James 4:7). Jesus is the head of the church, and He leads by love. The same should be true in the home.
