My thoughts turn to the passage in Ephesians
That deals with relationships.
How do I understand submission?
My Southern Baptist brethren emphasize
A woman's duty to submit.
But Paul tells us that as Christians
We should submit to each other.
I believe that is the truth.
Jesus told us the last shall be first.
Can I humble myself before others?
Only with great difficulty.
Our society teaches achievement,
No matter the cost.
Christ tells us we must always
Count the cost to others
In our actions and our words.
Lord, give me the strength to obey you.
