Proverbs 31:11
[11] The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
Prayer
Today, make it your prayer that the Lord would teach you ways you can improve in your duties so that your husband can trust and depend on you. One thing that is often a struggle for me and many other women I know is keeping a godly attitude while tending to my daily duties.
Application
One way you can help your husband trust you is by being in control of your emotions instead of the other way around. Today, swiftly submit your frustrations and feelings to Christ when they arise. Do not leave them piled up in the dumpster and unload it all on your husband in a moment of stress. Lack of self control in this area doesn't only affect ourselves, it affects everyone in the home as well. When we delight in the Lord and fix our eyes on Him, our husbands can trust that we will not be guided by our emotions but by the word of God.
If you're having a hard time losing an attitude, remind yourself "Christ bore the punishment for this ungodly behavior". It is humbling to remember the sacrifice Christ made for our sin and it leads us to repentance. Isn't the grace that comes with repentance so sweet? We are not slaves to sin and we do not walk in condemnation. Praise the Lord!
