Daily Bible Reading – July 2021, God’s Word of Faith

DAY 16 OF 31

July 16

Introduction

In today’s reading, Paul describes relationships among family members to emphasize the oneness of God’s people in union with Christ. In addressing wives and husbands, he reflects on the levels of authority in households and compares the marriage relationship to that of Christ and the church. 

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Ephesians 5:21—6:4

Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 5:21

"Submit yourselves to one another because of your reverence for Christ."

Reflect

Today’s reading begins with a key principle regarding relationships with others (5:21). How do you understand the application of this verse in your relationships with others? What do you consider to be important in your relationships with people you know (i.e., parents, spouses, siblings, children, friends, co-workers, those in positions of authority)? Love, trust and loyalty, honesty, equality and fairness, forgiveness? What else?  Explain.

Pray

Almighty God, teach me to be obedient to your Word. In my relationships with others, may all I do and say reflect your love and grace and give glory and honor to you. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Families

Tomorrow’s Reading

Ephesians 6:10-24: The apostle Paul encourages believers to clothe themselves with the spiritual armor of God.
