I Corinthians 11:3 - "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ..." Submission to one's head is not just an issue for wives. Husbands have to do it, too. We have Christ as our authority, and our obedience to Him should be an example of the cheerful submission we desire from our wives. I gladly obey Him because I know He loves me. - Daniel Holser

Psalm 74:8 - "They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land." The rest of this chapter reminds us that God sees what the wicked are doing, and the punishment of the wicked in the past. Our country is being described in this verse. Our job is to obey the commands of God for how we should live, and let him take care of dealing with the wicked. - Brian Boots

Proverbs 16:3 - "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."  God wants us to obey even though we may not understand.  Once we obey, we will begin to grow in our understanding. - John Mark Brothers

1 Samuel 15:11 - "It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night." What a powerful verse! We're either for God, or against God. When we sin and disobey God, it not only dishonors and hurts Him, but it hurts others as well. When Saul turned away from the Lord, it hurt both God and Samuel. It hurt Samuel to the point that he cried all night in prayer. On the other hand, Samuel was so close to God that he shared the same heartbreak with Him. Are we like Saul causing God sorrow, or are we like Samuel with the heart of God and praying for those who are stumbling in sin? - Garrett Longest

Judges 8:4 - "And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them." Sometimes we get discouraged because we don't see results from our efforts. Our job is to obey the commands in the Bible and leave the results to God. We can always do more for God. Don't quit. Complete victory may be just ahead. - Steve Boots

Proverbs 28:4 - "They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them." Ask yourself this question: "Whose side am I fighting for today? " Your level of obedience to God's Word shows which one. Let's not let Satan use us to fight his battles. - Jason Myers

Mark 7:8,9 - "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.  (9) And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." Have we made God's commandments into a tradition or a habitual chore? Has going to church become the same-ol'-same-ol' routine? Are we comfortably drifting through the motions of the Christian life, or are we perusing the things God commands us out of humble obedience with the purpose of growing closer to Him? - Garrett Longest

2 Corinthians 10:5 - "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every though to the obedience of Christ." Every thought...EVERY thought. If we could accomplish this in our lives, there is no limit to how God could use us. - Steve Boots
