Wives, Pray for your Husbands!
Men and women are different in numerous ways and God
gifts them differently. For instance, God gifts intelligence,
strength, talent, skills, wisdom, courage, sensitivity, humor,
financial success, and the list is endless. However, as women,
we want to recognize and appreciate different gifts God has
provided to our husbands. Pay close attention to the good
qualities in your husband. What makes him different? What do
you love about your husband?
Take note of the good things he does and the kind words he
speaks. Notice the ways in which he speaks his love. Help build
him up by reminding him how much you appreciate him and all
the little things you love about him. We are all a work in
progress, growing and learning every step of the way. This is
where we can learn to let our husbands lead.
Sometimes, we just have to step back and let God take control if
we want to be obedient to His Word. God uses people who are
obedient to Him. The Word is clear about the husband is the
head of the wife and the wife should submit to his authority, in
addition to outlining that the "Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it"
Submission is a choice that we make out of obedience to God.
We should focus on God and His will. God is ready to equip
those He calls. We honor God when we place our trust in
Him, step back, and allow our husbands to take the lead, which
in turn brings glory to God and brings our husbands closer to
God. Sometimes, we wives must examine ourselves and step
back, so we can enable our husbands to step forward and
become the leader that God plans for him. Wives, pray for your
husbands that God will equip him to lead your family!
