[day 7] pray for your husband: to lead wisely and love sacrificially
For the most part, a godly woman wishes for her husband to be a strong leader and to put the family’s needs above his own.
This is something that truly is supernatural.
It comes from him having a close relationship with the Lord… this is something for which we can pray!
25-Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26- That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27- That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28-So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29- For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30- For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31- For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32-This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:25-32
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:19
No other religion {that I have ever heard of} even hints at a man treating his wife better than he treats himself. This is because, for Christians, the relationship between us as wives and our husbands is more than just 2 people living together creating a life and a family.
The relationship between my husband and me is one that should reflect the love Christ has for His bride, the church.
That is a strong love; it is sacrificial. It is supernatural indeed!
Let us pray for our husbands to allow the Lord
to lead them to love us sacrificially
and lead us wisely !
