"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord." Colossians 3:18
Submission or being subject is defined as being under the authority of another. Submission is a very difficult subject and certainly not what the world and the feminist movement teach us. As woman we must stand up for ourselves and be strong. Fear of being abused contribute a lot to not wanting to be submissive, but just like there are blessings in honouring your parents, there are also blessings to being submissive to all authority over us.
But the destruction of woman not being submissive, and the power struggle is evident in all the broken homes in today's society.
I witnessed the total ruin of my life because I was a rebellious child and later rebelled against all forms of control in both my career and marriage.
The Wise Woman in Waiting book is the book I wish I had earlier in my life, but now I can use this book to teach my daughter not to make the same mistakes I made.
If you want to teach your daughter, or any younger women, to build her life on the Rock, please read Chapter 8 Wives, Be Subject. I also found that I learned so much from these lessons, gaining more wisdom to be a Wise Woman.
Please join the conversation by sharing your testimony in the comment section below the lesson.
Yes Adina, I too, was rebellious at the end of my teenage years and then in my career and marriage. I am thankful that I can now introduce these principles to all three of my beautiful daughters. The ways of the world are destroying what it means to be a woman, wife, and mom. But His Word is the truth and that is the foundation that I want to give to my daughters so they don’t fall for the lies of the world. This book has also been helpful for myself as well.
Thank you for sharing this lessen precious Adina. I have to admit I too was so rebellious towards my parents, my last year of school and I struggled to be submissive to my earthly husband, I always said no man will sit on my head and I know that is were a lot of our problems started.
