The people we live with and see daily (our family, our coworkers, etc.) see the most raw and real version of us, and it’s not always pretty. Thankfully, Paul offers us wisdom for navigating these closest, and often hardest, relationships in a way that imitates Jesus. In today’s reading from Ephesians, Paul appeals to our relationship with Jesus as the reason we should put aside our ways for the sake of others.
Read Ephesians 5:21-33.
The scripture passage talks about wives and husbands submitting to one another with self-sacrificial love, but this concept of submission can (and should) be applied to many relationships. Submission involves setting aside our agenda, will and need to be right. Who do you need to submit yourself to today? How can you approach your closest relationships in a way that honors Jesus?

About this Plan
Here's the deal. You were not placed on this planet for nothing. And you also weren't placed here for just anything. God created you with a specific plan in mind: to worship and reflect him in all you do. That is your purpose. And while it might seem daunting to live a godly life in today's culture, rest assured -- you are right where he wants you. You were made for this. This reading plan will guide you to read through two books of the Bible (Colossians and Ephesians).
