Part 2

I’ve been bearing witness to this truth through studying, praying, reading and practical application. In reading, I was captured by one of Lyar’ah’s examples and definition of submission in her book. This definition is edifying and I wanted to share …

" ... ‘Submission is the ability to receive a word and position yourself to be moved towards the accomplished goal of that word’. This definition is very direct and leaves no wiggle room for assumptions. In submission there is an aim. Who speaks pointless commands? Their intent of speaking is to get a response based on action. Even the adversary has an aim when he speaks lies. His deceitful words are aimed to move the righteous out of the will of the Most High. Yahuah's aim is eternal life for his creation. One must determine who they are receiving words from and where are these words aiming them. A righteous husband speaks commands that point all under his authority towards righteousness. When he is teaching or correcting his goal is to produce righteousness. The wife and children who are on the receiving end of his commands must respond to these commands with understanding knowing that they are for their good. The order of Yahuah is giving for the perfection of the family. When submission is being performed effectively in a home, Shalum dwells. On the other hand, when it is disturbed, there is confusion. Disturbance usually happens when there is a lack of communication, misunderstanding of what's being spoken or plain old rebellion. If one can identify which it is, then it is easy to come up with a solution to restore order."

Several thoughts stirred me as I read this definition.

One thought stemmed from Proverbs 18:22
- How can a man choose wisely?

Without submission to Yah, a man won't truly understand what he is looking at and what he is looking for. This lack of understanding would result in him choosing an agenda of his own deceptive and self seeking flesh. This choice might seem or feel right to the unwise man but ultimately isn't.

-How can a woman receive and multiply rightfully?

Without submission she wont understand what is and is not ok to receive and multiply. She wont understand what and who she is building for. Without submission she would end up building for the adversary and multiplying the enemy.This choice might seem or feel right to the unwise man but ultimately isn't.

…”A woman shall compass a man” - jeremiah 31:22
