Proverbs 31:23 Day 13

Proverbs 31:23

Her husband is known int he gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

Challenge

-Commit to supporting your husband, reverencing him, building him up, and bringing him honor.

What if the Proverbs 31 woman had spent her time and energy whining and complaining about her lot in life, how little her husband does around the house, asking him why he isn't more spiritual, or nagging him to do things and then telling him a better way to do them?

Your husband is your provider, comrade, and best friend.

If you do not want the best for him, please make praying that God would put that on your heart your challenge for today.

Men want to succeed.  

They want people to tell them good job.  They especially want their families to praise them, to really believe in them.

If the Proverbs 31 woman had been a nagging or manipulative woman, would her husband have been confident enough to face life head on?  What if she was constantly complaining about him to other women and they told their husbands?  Would he have had the confidence to be a man, and have enough respect to sit with the elders?

I don't think so.

As your husband's comrade and helper, you should be wanting the best for him, and actively working for that.

Build your man up.

Give him confidence to take on the world.
