Day 28: 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge
"The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility." Prov. 15:33
From Revive Our Hearts
Sometimes, when we just "know" we are right and our husbands are wrong, it takes great humility to honor them. It is difficult to speak well of our husbands when our own hearts are puffed up with pride.
As part of your Encouragement Challenge today, pray that you will respond to the Lord in faith and humility before you react to your husband. Speak wisely and well, and leave the results to God.
The humility that comes from a right relationship with God - the humility that comes when a man is willing to listen to God and be taught from His Word - is indeed a beautiful quality. Jesus was an example of this kind of humility when he was willing to submit to His Father's will (John 6:38; Matt. 26:39).
Humility is a hard stance for most of us to take. We prefer to believe we know what's what and that we are correct. And to admit that we might be mistaken or not know what's best makes us feel like children or stupid. But true wisdom comes from being able to accept that others can know what is best for us and can have a better understanding of where we are than we do ourselves.

Hi, It is very easy for me to get upset if a man can not admit that he is wrong or "not correct!"
If needed, I will be humble and gladly admit that I was wrong. I expect the same from my husband and sons. Thanks,Cindi
