Following Your Own Command

Following Your Own Command…

Some husbands quote “Wives be subject to your husbands.” While some wives quote to their husbands “Husbands love your wives.” Both are true and right. But notice that the scripture to wives begins with the wife, and the scripture to husbands begins with the husband.

When you focus on what the other person should do, it doesn’t work. But when you focus on what you should do, it fosters an atmosphere of giving and not getting. Spouses are far more likely to love and respect spouses who love and respect them.

This is true with everything. When you focus on your needs or what people owe you, you’ll be miserable. But when you focus on what you can give, an atmosphere of giving, blessing, freedom and love is fostered.

Forget about what you want and what you think you need from others, and bless. Be free and bless, and see what happens. Because God never commanded you to be loved, served, or blessed by others. He commanded you to love, serve, and bless others. Do this, and all these other things will be added to you.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

Take your expectations off of others meeting your needs today. Focus on serving and loving others and trust God to take care of the rest.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
