S – This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church. ³³ To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband. 

Ephesians 5:32–33 CSB

O – Paul sums up the relationship of the church is parallel to a husband and wife.  Jesus is the husband and loves his church.  The bride should respect her husband which means the church should respect, submit and respect God.

A – It may sound basic and an equation in the relationship between God and man.  This does not negate the other aspects of relationship we have with God – love, faith, trust, intimacy and communication. It does give a great foundation – do you respect God enough to obey, trust, and do what he says no matter the experience or circumstances?

R – Heavenly Father, you are the Great I Am.  We honor  and respect you.  We revere who you are and choose to put our faith and trust in you.  Help us to obey and follow your Word with a loving heart.
