31 Days of Praying God’’s Wisdom for My Husband: Wives Garnering God’’s Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs and diligently entreating The Throne on behalf

God wants to bless our husbands with an abundance of wisdom. He greatly desires for them to be wise and knowledgeable, whether they have to deal with simple matters or difficult circumstances at home, in ministry, at work, or with friends. God is eager to anoint them with the ability to be aware, alert, and balanced in the running of their lives. He so wants to bless our spouses with the Fruit of the Spirit - helping them to pursue excellence in daily living.

WE ARE AN "I" CONSUMED NATION

Our Lord created man to bring honor and glory to His name. But, left alone, men (and the human race in general) are prone to being selfish, self-centered people who have the tendency to do perpetually silly, unproductive things. Their minds can so easily veer towards being consumed with what is right for them: what they want for themselves, what makes them feel contented, what they should be entitled to, or what they think they deserve. And our culture often promotes and encourages such unhealthy mindsets. However, in the midst of such a way of life, it is upon these selfsame men that God has rested the heavy mantle of leading our families, providing for them, and protecting them.

In our seemingly "I" consumed nation, choosing to live selfishly is a natural choice for many people. Living wisely, on the other hand, is something we have to be proactive and intentional about, something that has to be taught to us. In other words, ladies, our husbands need help They especially need God's help if they are to succeed in making prudent and sensible decisions for themselves and their families, but they also need our assistance.
