Dear sister, how precious God’s Word is, and how much we can learn from it. I have seen that I have never really been a virtuous woman. That realization is confusing and painful, but it is also liberating, because I thought I was building my house. Now I see that many times I was actually foolish.
I was a contentious person who always tried to take control of the situation, and this is not what God wants. A simple example is this: when I saw something that needed doing in my house and I asked my earthly husband and he did not do it, I would go and do it myself. I would pass in front of him and, many times, devalue his authority and his masculinity. Today I see that this was an act of rebellion and of pride. I would think, “If he does not fix it, I will fix it.” But by doing that I was putting him down and making him feel unappreciated, and that only contributed to him doing nothing.
So, my dears, what I want to say to you today is this: be submissive even in the little things, because this pleases God. If your husband is not being the protector he should be, or if he is not leading the home, pray and give the situation to the Lord. Ask the Lord to touch your heart. Our responsibility is to be kind and helpful, not to take over as the head of the house or to be contentious.
Today I have practiced this and asked for my Beloved Lord’s grace to help me be a wife who is a crown for my husband. That is what we should seek to be.
There are many worldly examples today of “strong” and “empowered” women trying to shape our identity, but that is not what the Lord has for us. He made us to be protected and loved as a treasured and fragile vessel. Do not be deceived. Choose the Lord’s protection. If you have Him in your life, you will win every battle, no matter how hard it is.
What I want to do today is thank Him for another day of life and for another precious lesson. I am deeply touched by how much I am learning. I am seeing everything in a new way, gaining knowledge and learning to be a submissive wife.
I am grateful to my Beloved Lord and I ask Him to give me wisdom and discernment for every situation I face. I ask Him to give me a gentle and quiet spirit that is wise and strong in Him. I need His protection, and this is what I desire every day of my life.
