Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 10th September 2024, Tuesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Spirit Submission
Be filled with the Spirit…submitting to one another in the fear of God.
Ephesians 5:18, 21
Recommended Reading: Ephesians 5:15-21
Ephesians 5 is the Bible’s definitive passage about being filled with the Holy Spirit. When we’re filled with the Spirit, we find ourselves more willing to be submissive to others. Submission is not an ugly quality but a godly one. Christ submitted to His Father’s will, though both were equally divine.
Paul applied this truth to marriage in Ephesians 5. With women, submission results in respect, for every man needs someone to respect him. With men, submission results in a deep love for their wives. That’s why the last verse of Ephesians 5 says, “Let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband” (verse 33).
When submission is understood from God’s perspective, it’s embraced as evidence of strength and godliness. The truth is, we all need love and respect; that means we must love and respect one another. Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit and help you with His great qualities of humility and submission.
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me.
Oswald Chambers
