This morning as I was doing my devotion outside (during the sunrise over the ocean y’all, amazing) I had one of those “a ha” moments from God that we all live so much!
I was studying Colossians 3:18-4:1. I broke each verse down into person, do, don’t do and why. It wasn’t long before He started nudging my heart.
For me, as a wife, I was given one command in verse 18…submit to my husband. As a worker, I was given one command in verse 22…obey my overseer. I’m also a child and, praise the Lord, still have my parents here (and live directly beside them). As a child I was given one command in verse 20…obey my parents. I continually saw a pattern and felt the Lord telling me to pay attention. Submit and obey. Two things that certainly don’t come easy for this stubborn, hard-headed girl.
And with this, we have what our next Bible study will be on the blog in a few weeks…modern day submission.
Out for now

this is great! I love it that the Bible is so personal and we can apply the Truth to our everyday lives, whether being a wife, a coworker, a mother, etc.
When God's word speaks directly to us it is alive and does its good work. We are IN Christ and are new as never before.
