In
The Same Way, You Husbands
Must
Give
Honor To Your Wives.
Scripture
1
Peter 3
7 In
the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your
wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than
you are, but she is your equal partner in God’s gift of new life.
Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.
Observation
Simon
Peter lived in a world where men thought of women as their property.
Jesus Christ changed all of that, at least He did for all of us who
have become followers of Christ.
Men,
today you and I are challenged to give honor to our wives and to
treat them with understanding. We are to highly value them as a gift
from God.
Our
wives are equal partners and we must treat them well or our Heavenly
Father will not even hear our prayers.
After
living with me 49 years, Kathy has no trouble letting me know when
she thinks I am being condescending or when she thinks I am treating
her like a child, or even worse, when she thinks I am treating her
like she is stupid.
Don't
smile men! I bet this happens to you too!
Application
I
will treat Kathy with love and respect. I will treat her as I should
so my prayers are not hindered.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving me such a great wife. When I look around
at those who You could have picked out for me I am so glad that You
picked Kathy. Help me to treat her as I should. Don't let me mistreat
her. Bless her, Lord. Give her strength and good health. Help her to
walk close to You. Continue to use her in the lives of our children
and grandchildren as a witness for You.
I
pray for any man that may be reading this blog. Help him to be a
godly man. Help him to be the very best husband to his wife. Help him
to realize what a treasure she is to him.
