Today’s Thought “Failure to Communicate” G. Ward

 

1 Peter 3:1-2 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

 

In times past the month of May was perhaps the season for great hustle in that weeks away would soon witness marriages and graduations. The current pandemic has most certainly altered graduation ceremonies as social distancing has become a preventive measure to behold; while marriage (for this modernity) is less a consideration. Immorality for our times hinder thoughts of monogamy, particularly biblical submissiveness assumed as entirely subservient for times whereby headship in homes is entirely subjective, even allowing toddlers to rule periodically.

Whereas Peter’s message to the church involved a spiritual impression that would compel an offender onto peace, the transcendence in subject matter remains. Whether through marriage or another acquaintance, submit today unto God’s peace, so the one troubled by a worldly standard would gain eventual rest (Matt.5:16).
