I look at the Titus 2 woman in the new testament and I think to myself what has happend to this woman. Titus 2:3-5 Similarily, teach the older women to live in a way that is appropriate for someone serving the Lord. They must not go around speaking evil of others and must not be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to take care of their homes, to do good, and to be submissiveto their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God.
I love this passage of scripture it tells all women what they should do and it can't be much more basic than this. Our generation of wives do not understand how this could even be because we have been raised to be rebellious toward our husbands and we show disrespect toward our husbands in front of our children and people outside of the home.I whole heartedly believe that God can restore what has been lost. I wish the ladies in my church and my mother would have taught me to be submissive my husband. Many women hear "Obey your husband" and think Oh great here we go again with one of those wackos but I looked up Obey and submissive and I found that it to be very interesting. Submission is to be compliant and meek. Obey means to give in, surrender, do what is expected, yield to, pay close attention to, conform and adapt. Now replace the word obey with any of these phrases or words and see what you get. Yield to your husband, do what is expected to your husband, pay close attention to your husband. Come on ladies its a great thing to Obey your husband. When we don't do these things yield to them, conform and adapt what are we doing, we are rebelling and what is rebellion? Rebellion is as bad as witchcraft in Gods eyes according to 1 Samual 15:23. Ladies I encourage all of you to obey your husbands and if your husband is a sinner continue to live what is acceptable in God's eyes and God will give you strength. My next blog I will continue on with this verse to please study this scripture with me. Until next tiem God be With you!
Angel,
ReplyDelete1st of all it was great to get the link to this blog from you. I pray all is going well for you and your family. We started school already this week. I can't believe summer is already over. :(
I loved your post. It is amazing how well a household runs when the husband and wife fulfill their God given roles. Our society has gotten away from that and I believe it is the root of many of the problems we now see with the youth of America. Colassians 3:18-19 is a great verse to go along with your post:
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
God Bless,
