SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY: LOVE, HOPE AND FAITH MATTERS ON RELATIONSHIP TEST AND EXAMINATION!
Kindly Ponder on these gracious and graceful elements of life – LOVE, HOPE AND FAITH, instead of your mind wondering with and for nothing in our your relationship.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“SUBMITTING yourselves one TO another in the FEAR of God. 22 Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your OWN husbands, as UNTO the Lord. 23 For the HUSBAND is the HEAD of the wife, even as Christ is the HEAD of the CHURCH: and he is the SAVIOUR of the body. 24 Therefore as the CHURCH is SUBJECT unto Christ, so let the WIVES be to their OWN HUSBANDS in every thing. 25 HUSBANDS, LOVE your wives, even as Christ also LOVED the church, and GAVE himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might PRESENT it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not HAVING spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT blemish. 28 So ought men to LOVE their wives as their OWN bodies. He that LOVETH his wife LOVETH himself. 29 For no man ever yet HATED his own flesh; but NOURISHETH and CHERISHETH it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are MEMBERS of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this CAUSE shall a man LEAVE his father and mother, and shall be JOINED unto his wife, and they TWO shall be ONE flesh. 32 This is a GREAT mystery: but I speak CONCERNING Christ and the church. 33 NEVERTHELESS let every one of you in PARTICULAR so LOVE his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she REVERENCE her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.
“Likewise, ye WIVES, be in SUBJECTION to your own HUSBANDS; that, if any OBEY NOT the WORD, they also may WITHOUT the WORD be won by the CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) of the wives; 2 while they behold your CHASTE conversation COUPLED with fear. 3 Whose ADORNING let it not be that OUTWARD adorning of plaiting the hair, and of WEARING of gold, or of PUTTING on of apparel; 4 but let it be the HIDDEN man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ORNAMENT of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of GREAT price. 5 For after this manner in the old time the HOLY women also, who TRUSTED in God, ADORNED themselves, being in SUBJECTION unto their OWN husbands: 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, CALLING him lord: whose DAUGHTER’S ye are, as long as ye DO well, and are NOT AFRAID with any amazement. 7 Likewise, ye HUSBANDS, DWELL with them ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as UNTO the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS together of the GRACE of life; that your PRAYERS be not HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of ONE mind, having COMPASSION one of another, LOVE as brethren, be PITIFUL, be COURTEOUS: 9 not RENDERING evil for evil, or RAILING for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE life, and SEE good days, let him REFRAIN his tongue from evil, and his LIPS that they SPEAK no guile: 11 let him ESCHEW evil, and DO good; let him SEEK peace, and ENSUE it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are OVER the righteous, and his EARS are OPEN unto their prayers: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that DO evil” 1 Peter 5:1-12
