Titus 2:3-5
New King James Version
3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
Good evening. The first Sunday in September is a day to recognize the wife of your Preacher/Pastor.
In past years I haven't posted appreciation not because it isn't deserved but mainly because my husband helps to preach so I don't want it to sound like a hey honor me post.
Today I wanted to tackle it, for a couple of reasons. First many women have forgotten how important the role of a wife and women in general in the church are.
See society lead by that angel of light, Satan, has taught us God's system is oppressive and sexist. They won't present it in such blunt wording but that's what it boils down to.
So when women hear this and forsake their God given role they throw off the balance of their family and harm God's family, the church.
God set up these roles for a reason. Having a good pastors wife who recognizes her role an lives it, is an example we should follow and blessing we should be thankful for.
Second is we need to be teaching our younger generations why these different roles are important. Society has blurred the lines we need to make them clear again. When we know why we do, what we do, we will feel honored we are called to do so and find joy in doing it.
Lastly God did not make this role a thankless one. Working beside a leader or even behind the scenes if you will deserves just as much praise and encouragement. Leaders are better with help and support. They need good wives to do what they do more effectively and efficiently. So let's be sure to thank them for doing God's will and helping keep God's family grounded in His love.
God bless!
