There is so much hatred in our culture.
Children claim to hate parents, the majority of society has little to no liking for authority or things that are to be held sacred , and dare I say, hates even the thought of someone like a husband ruling over, with loving leadership and authority.
This "cultural hatred" is so very dangerous for the Christian, and I think, most importantly for the Christian wife.
We, as wives are called to something far better, and quite the opposite of hatred for authority---namely, our husbands!!
We are called to submit to our husbands, and to follow the leadership he provides (Ephesians 5:22)
This biblical truth goes against everything the world (ie: TV, Movies, Books etc.) tells us.
How we love and submit to the leadership, guidance, and provision of our husbands is in direct correlation to how we worship God.
We must make our husband a priority---he comes first after God.
We must love, honor, serve, and.... yes ladies, submit to him, as we are to do with our Lord.
Yes, we can make his meals, do his laundry, etc. but if we do this with a disrespectful heart, hatred, and simply out of duty------it's pointless.
We must turn our hearts toward our husbands with love, respecting him all the way.
Lord, help us to love and respect our husbands and help to build them up to be the godly men. Help us to listen to your voice, to read your word, not letting this worldly culture influence our relationship with our God given leader.... Our husbands!
