Grace for your spirit May 18, 2010

Grace for your spirit
You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. I Peter 3:7

In the preceding verses, God directed women to be submissive, to live a life of chaste and respectful behavior, to develop a hidden quality that would be pleasing to God, and do right without being frightened by an fear. Many women object to such direction and wonder, what about the men? Here it is: Men are directed to do everything in the same way, plus live with women in an understanding way, and honor our women as fellow heirs of the grace of life. When men fail to do this, their prayers will be hindered. Men, have your prayers lost their power? Look around the house, and double check your submission. In the first century, when God first called all people into submission, it was the men that had the biggest adjustment, not the women. Today it seems like everyone chokes on humility.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with our spirit
Philippians 4:23
