Friday the 18th - Lead follow or get on your knees!

 

I always know where I parked my car… always. However my wife????

 

Matt Wallace just posted a new blog on marriage it is incredible! 

 

 

Many times my wife will call me and say “I am going to be late, I forgot where I parked”. I never forget where I park… sometimes if she drives and parks I will forget… sometimes when we leave a store and start walking out to the car I will just be following her as she walks in the opposite direction… she will stop and say where are we parked? I will point “way over there”. Well then why are we walking this way… I am following you! 

 

 

Eph. 5

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

 

I have many counseling appt’s where husband and wife will get frustrated and it is all because the husband does not lead. NOW>>> sometimes there is an overbearing wife… but usually even an overbearing wife will follow her husbands lead IF HE IS LEADING! 

 

We are to lead our homes. Be like Christ…

He had a mission

He did only what the father told him to do

He spent time with the father

He had a team

He did the right thing in the face of opposition 

He was willing to lay down his life for his mission

 

IF YOU TAKE TIME TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR YOUR OWN LIFE AND YOUR OWN SPIRITUAL WALK… MOST TIMES YOUR WIFE WILL FOLLOW!

 

You must lead in order for people to follow!
