Bible Verse of The Day – 11-25-24

Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…

As a husband, I want to know that I am pleasing God with the way I behave toward my wife, and the way I treat her.

It is important that, as men, we learn to be Christlike in our attitudes and our behavior toward our wives.

God created us as men. We are to be masculine. We are to be their protector. We are to be strong as we lead the home.

But we are not to be overbearing, controlling, or manipulative to make everything happen the way we want it to happen.

Jesus gave Himself for us, His bride. He literally laid down His life, surrendering to the will of the Father, that you and I might have life in Him.

This is our example when it comes to how we treat our wives.

We lead with strength. But that strength can often be demonstrated in meekness; being willing to give preference where preference is due. And being willing to admit when we are wrong when we know that we are.

Admitting we are wrong does not make us weak. Every person, whether man or woman, is wrong from time to time. Admitting our faults shows strength. Denying it shows weakness.

And, men, let us not fall into the trap of being domineering over our wives.

This, also, is a sure sign of weakness on our part as we mask our insecurities behind booming voices and military-like commands. And it will only cause resentment over time.

Let us love them genuinely, treating them with the respect they deserve.

Let us lead as Christ leads His body, with decisiveness, but meekness.

Let us lead in a way that assures them we would lay down our lives for them, even though that situation may never arise.

Husbands, love your wives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-18

Ephesians 5:28-29 (NKJV) 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. This is a powerful statement that, if we could just get it, would transform our marriages.

In marriage, we need to make sure we are meeting the needs of our spouse. It’s important that we don’t put them after everything else. Doing so is a recipe for a failed marriage.

We nourish our own bodies with food. We take care of them with exercise and other means of doing our best to stay healthy. This is done because we care about our own bodies. We care about ourselves.

So it should be with our wives. We need to nurture them, cherish them, love them and put them first, above other things. They need to come before our hobbies, our sports and our work.

It’s easy to take them for granted and push them to second or third place. We sometimes make the mistake of thinking that because they will always be there that we can put them off “until later”.

But it’s important that we don’t fall into that trap. Because doing so can break down the relationship and cause them to feel neglected, possibly even causing them to look elsewhere for the attention and affection that we fail to give them.

Love your wife. Put her first. Treat her as God intends us to. And watch the love between you grow and flourish!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-17

Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

Have we done something nice for our wives lately? Have we planned a special night out, or maybe done some extra things around the house that may help her out in one way or another? How about a nice card? Or a massage without her having to ask for it?

Sometimes all it takes is taking a little bit of our time to do something they weren’t expecting, that will let them know they are loved, respected, appreciated and thought of.

Take some time today and plan something special for her. Love is often felt in the simplest ways.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-3-17

Ephesians 5:33 (NKJV) 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

People may think that just because they are married, it’s a sealed deal. Well, it should be forever. That is God’s intention for every marriage. But looking at statistics, it shows differently.

We need to know that going into any relationship or marriage takes work on both sides. No one person should have to do it all. It requires a nice balance between both people.

The men need to focus on loving their wife as Christ loves the bride. The women need to focus on respecting their husband. If these two very important things get neglected, things will begin to break. And then problems will begin to happen.

The good news is that if both are willing to let God help them fix it, He can and will make it new again. But in order for that to happen, both people need to be willing to let Him fix whatever needs to be fixed in each individual, including themselves.

You can ask any woman; if her husband doesn’t show her love the way that she wants to feel loved, will she have respect for him? No, she won’t.

Or ask any man; if his wife does not show him respect and mistreats him, is he going to be able to love her the way God wants him to love her? Nope.

If our marriages are based on God being the center and the head, we will listen and not give up on our marriage. We will take this verse seriously and we will work toward making it a priority on both ends.

As we follow what God tells us to do in this verse, our marriage will grow stronger. And we will develop a deep love and respect for each other.

Hold on to that marriage. It is worth the effort. Work together in exercising love and respect for each other. If we will do this, change will come. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-12-16

Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…

Husbands love your wives.

I’d like to take a moment to speak to the married men out there today. If you are a man who is engaged to be married, please read this carefully also.

Our wives are precious. They are a blessing and a gift from God, placed in our lives to share our time with here on earth.

She is not an object or a servant, to be bossed around or constantly told what to do or how to do it.

She is not our personal waitress, designed to be at our beck and call whenever we want something.

Women were created from Adam’s rib and are to be a part of us, to be a helper, standing by our side, but not a slave who walks behind us.

They are not to be belittled or treated as less than we are. We should encourage our wives and lift them up, so they know how much they mean to us.

As a husband and wife develop their relationship, they become one in many different ways.

Genesis 2:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Our wife is our partner for life, in everything we do. She deserves to be treated as such.

She deserves our respect, our honor, our love and our affection.

Husbands, love your wives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-15

Ephesians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her…

Love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her.

That’s a pretty tall order, but it’s not a request or a question. It’s a command from God’s word.

And if God has told us to do it, then we need to do it!

What’s awesome in this, though, is that God has equipped us to do this by giving us His spirit. We have not been left to do it on our own power or by our own wisdom.

Wives need the love and support of a strong, compassionate, loving, understanding husband. It’s how God wired them.

And He wired us to be that man that they need.

So I urge husbands who might be reading this today, to love your wife as Christ loved the church. Treat her with respect, not with contempt or constant belittling.

She may not be perfect, but the last time I checked, neither are we. And if God has told us to love them as Christ loved the church, then we need to do just that!
