Good Morning friends. I pray that you are seeing changes in not only your own life but in the relationship with you and your husband. Are you being the right kind of Help Meet? Have you taken the Challenge to heart that was given in an earlier lesson?
Today we are looking at the Kings and Kingdoms. *A wise woman always receives her husband's overtures with delight no matter how clumsy he may be. When our husbands receive Praise or Honor we should be delighted no matter what. This can be hard especially since you live with him, you know how he is. In Hosea 4:6 it says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." With the culture the way it is today where it opposes God in almost all public schools and where women have tainted so many area's and even some of our best Christian Schools. We need to heed Hosea 4:6
Why do we as women feel that will lose some our self-respect if they surrender to man? It's due to the worlds thinking. We are taught though that an obedient woman, and a submissive woman is what we are to be. This is why so many families have problems in with the husband and wife. The wife feels she should be the leader, the husband wants to be the leader but tires of fighting the wife. As a wife we are to be submissive to our husband. *Reverence is not just how you act; it how you feel and how you respond with words and with your body language. Do you really think it's enough to serve your husband; your eyes and the way you swing your body, arms, or hands tell if you your happy to serve him or the attitude of "alright if I must."
Remember the saying, 'Your walk talks, and your talk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks."
There's A LOT of truth there.
Did you know you can't fool your husband. He knows your heart and maybe better than you do. *Deference to your man is the height of true femininity. It makes a woman beautiful, gracious and lovely to all.
Proverbs 9:13 "A foolish woman is clamorous; she is simple, and knoweth nothing" Are you this type of woman? Do you clamor at the thought of having to be your husbands Help Meet?
Proverbs 14:1 "Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands"
Are you a wise woman? building up your house, your husband, your children?
OR are you the foolish woman who tears down her house, her husband and her children?
The Help Meet who wants to be the BEST she can be will work and strive to be the Wise woman who buildeth her house!
*The very heart of reverence is extreme appreciation and profound thankfulness that this man, just as he is, has chosen to love me, just as I am. If your husband loves you as you are, then why can't you love him as he is?! Stop and think a minute ladies.... You are human, Your husband is Human! You have a sin nature, Your Husband has a sin nature! You stumble at times, your husband stumbles at times! So why do we have a hard time Loving Him For Who He Is?? Did you realize that Your husband will you *many, many faults as long as he knows that you think he is great.
So what have we learned thus far?
* God created us to be Help Meets.
* A Help Meet is one who helps others.
* Joy comes from a Thankful heart
* Thankfulness is from being content with God's will
* A woman is to be submissive and yielding!
* In order to know God's blessings is to honor the chain of command God has for us.
* As the wife we are a picture of the Bride of Christ This is the great mystery
* Our obedience isn't dependent on how our husband obeys God
* We are to reverence our husbands.
*taken from "Created to be His Help Meet"
