God’s Word for Today - 31 May 2024
1 Peter 3:7 KJV — Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 31 May 2024
Many who follow Christ often ask for secrets of answered prayer. Today’s scripture gives us one of those secrets that relates to married men. In many world cultures where patriarchy is the norm, women are often given little to no honour. But followers of Christ are called to a different standard, they are enjoined to see their wives as being co-equal with them in Christ, thus worthy of honour. The consequence of failing to honour your wife is that God will frown at you and your prayers. So if you are a wise follower of Christ and want to be in good standing with Jehovah, you must learn to honour your wife and value her as Christ values her. By so doing you are also laying a solid foundation for a fluorishing home and a blissful union. Others will see your marriage as model and they will glorify Jehovah. Without knowing it, you will be drawing people to Christ because you honour your wife.
Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for my wife, please help me to love and cherish her in all situations. #Mok
