SUBMIT
TO ONE ANOTHER
submitting
to one another in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:21
[NKJV]
A
"One Anothering" Thought
Submit
means:
- to yield oneself to the power or authority of another
- to allow oneself to be subjected to some kind of treatment
- to defer to another's judgment, opinion, decision, etc
To submit to one another is often hard to do, but
Paul says we are to do it out of reverence to
God.
ONE-ANOTHERING IN ACTION: Perhaps today you
will need to yield yourself to the authority of one of your
brothers or sisters in Christ, do it willingly out of reverence to
God. You might need to defer to the judgement,opinion or
decision of a teacher in the church, do so in obedience to
God. Occasionally, it might be necessary to allow oneself to be
subjected to some kind of counseling for treatment of an ongoing
problem, do so with a "one anothering" attitude for your good and
the good of other believers. Pray and ask God to give you the
ability,strength and willingness to submit in whatever way He
has called you to do.
Likewise you younger people,
submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive
to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists
the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:5
[NKJV]
