Now that I have broken away from my
parents, I have found it easier to submit and be more dedicated and focused on
my husband and our daughter. I have
found my husband’s protection when submitting.
It’s God’s plan to obey Him and get blessed. (“Wives, submit yourselves unto your
own husbands, as unto the Lord,” Ephesians 5:22 “But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the
word of God, and keep it,” Luke 11:28).
A blessing I feel that God gives me when I submit is a sense of favor
from God and respect and protection from my husband.
A
statement a wife made which has encouraged me in this immediate time after I
made the change and set the boundaries with my mom and my dad and broke away
from them I will end my entry with. This
wife is aware that my husband is the head of the house, and that as all
husbands should, he is out to love and protect and do what is best for himself,
my daughter, and me. The statement is
something encouraging, and it encouraged me to rest and trust the man that the
Lord has put over me to love me and guide me, a man God provided a way through
to give me more of His blessing of protection and the statement is: thankfully
you have a husband who can make good decisions for the health
of your little family, so the burden is
not on your shoulders.
When I submit, I am recognizing the
protection God has provided through my husband, and I get a lifted burden.
What you said really struck home - "trust the man the Lord has put over me". I know that I need to trust in God, but sometimes I forget about trusting my husband, and am tempted to second guess him. I believe that because my trust is ultimately in God, I can trust and rest in my husband's care and guidance - just need to be reminded to do that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYep, God, Who can be trusted above all, gave the command to us to submit to our husbands.
