How many times have you heard, come to the alter, kneel, and pray. Why is kneeling so important, sitting in this chair or laying in bed is fine. Looking at the Bible we see a different story. Daniel kneeled 3 times a day and it saved him from being eaten by lions. Peter kneeled and the dead where raised. Kneeling is the best position to pray in. It shows reference to our Father in heaven and shows him we are submitting to His will.
Corner time for me is on my knees with my hand behind my head. This posture is how the Bible shows us to respect God. I show my submission to God’s will by showing submission to my HOH. Did you get that? Submitting to my HOH allows me to show submission to my Heavenly Father. Does that sound familiar? It should. Women, submitting to your HOH as God instructs will help your prayer life, spiritual life, and personal life.
But how do I feel about corner time? It is tough. It shows submission. It deters me from acting out. I hurt from the physical demands of it, but the rewards of a lighten heart and showing commitment to my submission for my HOH make it worth. In other words, corner time is what you make of it.
The next time you have corner time, use it wisely. Start by thanking your HOH for this opportunity to show your submission to him and that he is allowing you private time with God. Once in position, thank God for your HOH. Ask Him to help you learn all you can from this time with Him. Pray to your heavenly Father. Reflect on how your HOH has shown you a new level of prayer. Take some time and listen to God. He will share some interesting things on how to do better, answer questions you have, and show you places you may struggle. This in return allows you to show submission to your HOH by growing closer to God.
Corner time should be consider an honor. Even if it is part of a punishment (then you can ask God’s forgiveness for your wrong doing). This is your chance to learn more about submission as Jesus showed us. It is your chance to be in the best place for a blessing. It proves you respect your HOH, will follow his rules to make you better, and that you respect yourself enough to listen to instructions that will make you a better person.
The other side of this looks at the use of corner time as a reminder of the submission we have made, a reminder to continue doing things according to you HOH, and a remember that whatever you HOH says is ultimately law. When I look at this side, at least for me, being on your knees with your hands behind your head for 30 to 35 minutes is a clear reminder of this and his ability to “fix” issues. I don’t want to find out the next level, I know it will be worse to fix then to submit.
Go now and thank your HOH for corner time. If your corner time does not involve kneeling, maybe you want to ask for this new level of submission. Ask to be given a chance to learn submission as Jesus showed us. Ask for a chance to show your HOH that even if pain is involved, you enjoy learning more about submission.
Dear Sir, thank you for allowing me this daily opportunity to grow closer to God, submit to your authority, do as Jesus modeled, and learn to start with submission not be “fixed” by correction. I appreciate you taking time to show me how to be a true submissive and how it enhances my life.
