Meditation Monday: Submission

"Submission places you under God's protection.  rebellion opens you up to the influence of Satan in ways you may not even realize.  When we place ourselves under the spiritual covering of the authorities God has placed in our lives, God protects us.  On the other hand, when we insist on having it our way and stepping out from under that protection, we become vulnerable and give the Enemy (Satan) a new opportunity to attack us."

Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. 

Eph. 5:21

For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.

1Sa 15:23  

The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will. 

Pro 21:1
