In this special message, Cathe Laurie joins Pastor Greg to speak to women on being godly wives. Let’s set what culture says aside and instead turn to God’s Word for biblical insight on marriage. It’s a message you won’t want to miss!
Notes
If we want a marriage and family that succeeds, we must do it as God tell us to!
H. O. P. E
Holding On with Patient Expectation.
“Victory is not won by evacuation.” —Winston Churchill
1. Be the best version of yourself that you can be.
Proverbs 31 speaks of a balanced woman strong in every way.
The Bible reminds us to not focus on outward appearance alone.
The Godly woman focuses primarily on the internal but does not forget the external.
The word adornment is “cosmos” in Greek.
Note: The Bible does not forbid women to look attractive.
Paul gives a balanced view of a balanced believer.
The godly woman is known for her wisdom as well as her beauty.
2. Respect your man.
For a wife to win her husband requires her to respect him.
“When a husband feels disrespected, it is especially hard to love his wife. When a wife feels unloved, it is especially hard to respect her husband.” —Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
God is not calling on wives to feel respect; He is commanding them to show respectful behavior.
Let your beauty be primarily inward, but don’t forget the outward.
Respect and honor your husband.
Focus on actions over words to influence your husband.
A man needs to listen to what his wife has to say.
A woman needs to avoid the temptation to nag.
T. – True
H. – Helpful
I. – Inspiring
N. – Necessary
K. – Kind
Often in communication, we are speaking from different perspectives.
3. Submit to the leadership of your husband.
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28
The husband has the God-given responsibility to provide, protect, and lead just as the Lord does for the church!
“But Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” —Acts 5:29
