PONDER THIS:

God made husbands and wives different so that He might make them one. God gave you one nature and God gave your wife another nature. God gave husbands masculinity and responsibility that they are to assume. In that responsibility, you may give your wife authority, but you can never get rid of your responsibility. You are to let your wife know that she is number one. You move in to protect your wife from internal traumas, that you can present her without spot or wrinkle, to make her a more radiantly beautiful Christian. And then, husbands, once you have done that, then you move in to encourage her, nourish her, and cherish her. It is up to the husband to take the initiative. All of us must practice what God’s Word says, that there might be harmony in the home.

• What do you think it looks like to share authority but take responsibility as we’ve discussed today?
• What responsibilities has God given you? Are there any ways you have sought to relinquish those wrongly?

PRACTICE THIS:

Make a list of responsibilities you feel God has given you. If you are failing to honor God in any of these responsibilities, consider what needs to change.
