Rebecca, Isaac’s wife, may have gotten parenting wrong by preferring one child more than the other, contributing to sibling rivalry. However, she loved her husband—she knew what he loved and how to prepare what he loved. She knew his love language and used it to accomplish a goal.
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans 15:4 (KJV)
We can use the good things our spouses love as tools for strengthening our relationship and helping them grow spiritually.
Reflection: Do I use my spouse’s strength for selfish goals?
PS: Due to motherhood adventures, I started using the note feature on YouVersion, the Bible App. One of the little ones enjoys writing on my Bible and tearing it. If you have Bible and journal snatching littles, try using the Bible App for Bible study and note taking.
Have a Blessed Week!
If today was your last day on earth, do you know where you will spend eternity? Are you sure you will make it to heaven? If you are not sure, you need to give your life to Jesus Christ. Please say the prayer below and let me know about it here.
Say this: Heavenly Father,
I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe you exist and you sent Jesus to die for me. I receive your love and forgiveness. Reveal yourself to me. I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Amen
Welcome to God’s family!
Hmm…
I need to reflect on how I utilize my husband’s strengths. I’m sure adjustments will need to be made in my attitudes and actions.
It is good to be able to make the food exactly how my husband would make it. Willingness to learn. Humility.
