A Godly Calling:
Obedience
“…to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own
husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.” Titus 2:5
I like what Jay Adams, author and counselor, has to say
regarding the wife’s in submission and obedience to her husband: “This means if
a husband’s thinking is out of line, his wife’s task is to help him correct his
thoughts. If his life is out of line, her job is to help him return to God’s
path. If he simply is perplexed in a decision, she must bring her best reasons
to the decision making process.”
“Help, given respectfully, never conflicts with submission.
That is because submission requires her to contribute, to givr what she has to
offer. And that is what she must do, always in a spirit of respect and with a
willinfness to obey even if she doesn’t agree.”
Thought for the Day: God will honor your
obedience and use it as a means of strengthening your husband’s faith as well.
