Reading: 2 Kings 4:8-24
“Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house” (Psa 128:3)
1. I decide to obey my husband unquestioningly, unflinchingly from the stubbornest to the silliest of his demands. I will seek God’s help to do it cheerfully. In difficult situations I will be wise to discern if my obedience will please God and only then obey. I decide to pray with my husband morning and night.
2. I decide not to criticise my husband unlovingly. When I am upset over any wrong he does I will control my tongue, cool down and later gently talk to him about it. Whatever I have not been able to correct in him in the past, I will stop nagging but tolerate.
3. I decide not to cry at my husband’s criticisms or wear a long face. I will not shout back. I will be the first to give up my pride and make up things. I will not keep demanding change in him, rather I will constantly work at changing myself for the better. I will not go to my parents with my complaints.
4. I decide to laugh and joke with my husband and smile at him when he comes home. I will dress to his taste. I will cheerfully respond to his sexual needs, realising I have no authority over my body but he has. I will appreciate him for something everyday.
5. I decide to overcome the habit of eating in between meals. I will not be munching all the time. I will not overeat and become flabby nor neglect my health and become sick.
6. I decide to treat my husband with reverence like Sarah (1 Pet
3:6). I will not disrespect him. I will not degrade him before others, nor expose his shortcomings.
7. I decide to maintain the house clean and tidy all the days of the year. I will be hospitable to guests like Lydia (Acts 16:15). I won’t show them an unhappy face though worn out and tired.
8. I decide to save an amount every month. I will avoid going into debts. I will not waste the money entrusted to me. I will not be stingy but give liberally to the poor, within my means.
9. I decide to make friends with the non-Christian neighbours. I will send them some goodies, visit them, take part whenever possible in their joys and sorrows, invite their children home and so on, to establish a personal contact for the Gospel sake.
10. I decide not to speak ill of a third person with other women. I will control myself from enquiring about the bad things of a person, rather make a conscious effort to speak good of other women. I will learn that tongue-control is perfection.
