The Small Leaks

Summary: Feeling a little cold lately? Are your filled?
It is not about equality because men and women were deliberately made differently. The best marriage is between a man whose strengths are the weaknesses of the woman and the strengths of the woman are the weaknesses of the man making them stronger together than they will ever be apart with that union being strengthened even more by their submission to God. Submission is more about strength and often survival, not fairness or equality. When the man abdicates and the woman dominates they are not right with God so the strength is not there so the marriage disintegrates. For sake of length, I won't go into the rest of the structures shown here and in other passages. As you can see from our culture and even among Christians there has been a slow leak over a long time that has left many frozen in this area and content to stay that way.
If we will go back and ask God to plug the leaks and refill us and then daily do the piety maintenance given to us in this passage we will be able to redeem or buy back the time in these evil days and make them profitable to God, us and our fellow humans. We will enjoy the fruit of the Spirit and be cold to Worldliness and warm to the things of God. Then our journey will be more pleasant no matter if it rains, snows, sleets, hails, or we are ducking tornadoes. We can have a long rough road or a short smooth one for all that will matter is the final destination. We will be able to find some pleasant scenery no matter what the season of our life.
Are you leaking? Have you seen some signs in your life that you are cooling off? Now is the day to be fixed and filled! Do it now! Maranatha!
