SUBMISSION

Hebrews 13:17

Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

Personal challenge

There is that difficult and challenging word again, "submission". We have all been created in the image of God. However, due to the sin in the garden of Eden where Adam and Eve were not willing to submit to the will of God we all now have the challenge of submitting to others. Here we are reminded that by submitting to those who rule over us, it will be profitable for us. It is never easy to submit to another. And sometimes the expectation of submission is wrong. In all cases we must submit to our Lord and follow His guidance to show us the right things to do. Glory be to God!
