Under His Thumb
We are avid reality TV watchers. We DVR Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Apprentice shows and American Idol, of course. This week, the theme was the Rolling Stones. I was not too hopeful for that poor group of young people who had to make their was through what only Mick Jagger can sing.
They stumbled through the songs well enough, I have to say I really liked that cute, little Tim Urban’s styling of “Under My Thumb”. I do not understand why they give him so much grief. I just love him, he is a cutie. I liked the reggae vibe he gave it.
When I was listening to it, appreciating the fact that you could understand the lyrics, I was drawn to the line, “it’s down to me”. The song is about a guy who takes control of a girl who once had control of him. It is up to the guy to take that control. That is how God created us. He created the man to be the head of the woman. This is Biblical, ladies.
However, the man does not always take the lead. He lets the woman be the leader and this doesn’t work. Sometimes the woman takes control and holds onto it with a death grip. Ultimately, it is up to the man to take that role. It’s down to him. When he takes that role, the change will come. Truly, we are happier as women when they do step up and be the man. We need to not fill the role that was created for another. We need to follow God’s plan for us. We need to be under his thumb.
“Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” 1 Corinthians 11:3
