Husband Study Challenge: A Plan for Wivesサンプル

God cares about how we spend our days. He cares how we use the gifts and talents He’s given each one of us. He wants us to do everything we do as if it’s worship to Him. In Colossians 3:23 we are told to work “heartily” at everything we do as if working for the Lord and not for whoever the work is temporarily for. What does your husband do that makes him feel proud? What skills is he uniquely gifted with that bring him satisfaction with a job well done?

When we take time to stop and appreciate the unique way God has designed our spouse, we will learn things about them that we likely didn’t already know. Things that impress upon us how uniquely God creates each of us, and how pieces of his image are reflected in all created things (Romans 11:36).

Today your challenge is to find out what your husband is proud of. Ask him:

• What makes you proud?
• What is something you accomplished this week that you are proud of?
• What would you say are the 3 biggest gifts God equipped you with?
• Does it make you proud to use those gifts God gave you? When have you used one of those gifts recently? How did it make you feel?

Observe your husband and call out the best in him. Pay attention and look for any signs of satisfaction or pride (the good kind!) in him today. What did he smile about? Did anything he accomplished today bring him joy? Share how much you appreciate his work, and thank God for the giftings he’s given your husband.

Challenge: Observe your husband and notice how God has uniquely created and gifted him. Then share with him how you have seen him grow and how proud you are of him.

Prayer Challenge: Pray that God gives your husband satisfaction and joy in his work. Ask for God to bless his work.
