His Ways Are Higher

As we reach the verses in Ephesians that exhort wives to submit to their husbands and husbands to love their wives in a sacrificial way, let us take a look at Psalm 119:33+.

(33) Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees, then I will keep them to the end.
(34) Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
(36) Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
(57) You are my portion, O Lord; I have promised to obey your words.

Take note that in these verses we are exhorted to keep to God's ways. That means changing our ways to fit His, not the other way around.

When God says something that seems impossible (as in Ephesians 5:22,26), you must choose. Who is more apt to be right, you or God? You may not like what He says, or you may not think it's fair, but trust Him and submit to His ways. As the psalmist says: keep His law and obey it with all your heart.
