“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.” (1 Peter 2:13-15) Submission. The Oxford dictionary’s definition says, “the action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.” Other words similar in nature are agreement, acceptance, compliance, consent, and accession. But we are such stubborn people, and we get our back up like a cat’s when someone tells us what to do. We often even try to do the opposite of that. Is that always really the wisest thing to do?
