PUT THE OTHER FIRST

Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another. ROMANS 12:10 CSB

We all have our own opinions, preferences, and processes for living through each day. If left to our own desires, we would plow forward with no thought to what our spouse prefers or how he would want to do things. But we are called to “honor [by] giving preference to one another.” This means putting a spouse’s needs and wants before our own. It’s natural to think that when we do, we’ll get left out, but God sees all things, and He rewards us when we walk in His ways and trust in His provision. Truly believing and giving preference to our husbands in faith brings to light the honor we show God by doing things His way.

Lord, I want to please You, and I want to please my husband. Give me a spirit and mindset to put his desires before mine, and help me to trust You to fulfill the desires You know I have. Help me to form the habit of making this a natural way of living and loving each day. Make me sensitive to my husband’s preferences—the food he likes, the movies he watches, the activities he enjoys, and the music he listens to. I want to honor him in the ways that mean the most to him. Give me an attentive ear and eyes to see what brings him joy and makes his heart smile. I want to be a blessing by putting his inclinations at the forefront of my mind and heart.IN YOUR STRENGTH AND GRACE I PRAY. AMEN.
