I think a lot of times as Christians we are on both extremes of this question. There's times where we have this view of God that he is a wrathful God who enjoys sending his creation to Hell. However, we forget what Psalm 145:8 says that God is merciful and slow to anger. On the other side of that coin we see things going so well that we acquire this independent mindset and that Jesus' only place in this world is on the felt board in Sunday School.
God loves us no matter what, so he has held up his promise that was given to us so graciously. However do we respect him, submit to him, and love him as a bride, should? Are we faithful by putting him ahead of our money, computers, jobs, and our own physical families? Finally do we act like we are joined as one body, doing what the head directs us to do?
According to the Bible, a man is supposed to love his wife and protect her, as well as provide for her. God has done this and continues to do this for us. However, also according to the bible, the wife is supposed to submit to him, love him, and serve him. So family I encourage you, before you do or think anything, realize and remember that you are the bride, and your actions should fall in line with his will. Not behind because of fear, or in front of because of pride.
