START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
WIVES SUBMIT / EPHESIANS 5:22
The wife is given the God-appointed task of helping and submitting (Ephesians 5:21) to her husband (Ephesians 5:22-24). The meaning of “submit” as used here is not referring in a strict sense to obedience, which is never used in Scripture with respect to a wife’s relationship to her husband, Her God-given duty to her husband includes love (Titus 2:4), respect (Ephesians 5:33; 1 Peter 3:1-2), assistance (Genesis 2:18), purity (Titus 2:5; 1 Peter 3:2), submissiveness (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Peter 3:5), development of a gentle and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4) and being a good mother (Titus 2:4) and caretaker of the home (1 Timothy 2:15; 5:14; Titus 2:5). Submitting to a husband “as to the Lord” does not put the husband in the place of the Lord but shows that the wife ought to submit to her husband as an act of submission to the Lord. In this way, God sees the wife’s actions toward her husband as an actual part of her obedience to Jesus (Galatians 3:28; 1 Timothy 2:13, 15; Titus 2:4).
