I was thinking today on how we are always trying to tell somebody else how to do their job. We are constantly sweeping around someone else's door. I wonder why we feel the need to do this? I want to apply this to being a HUSBAND WATCHER. Do you know what that is? It's a woman who knows what her husband is supposed to do and be and instead of taking care of her own faithfulness to her God designed role she takes on the self appointed role of playing "Holy Spirit" in her husband's life, pointing out all his faults and weaknesses. She even haults her own obedience to the Lord, because of her "when...then" attitude. "When he does this, then I'll do that!"
Ladies we should know better than that. We cannot believe that God is pleased with such behavior. You are not your husband's Holy Spirit. You are his wife and God has given you a role to play and instead of watching out for all that he is not doing, make sure you are doing what God assigned you to do. There is nothing wrong with being aware of our husband's responsibilities, but if he is not meeting his God given role then pray for him instead of bashing him. Lift him up before the Lord. Don't constantly nag him about what he isn't doing. Who wants to live in the house with a nagging wife?? The bible says that it is better to dwell on the roof top than in the house with a nagger. (Proverbs 21:19)
So search your hearts dear wives and instead of rating our husbands, let's check our own score in the Wife Department. How do you fare? Do what you do as unto the Lord and you will reap your reward from Christ Jesus.
Happy Homemaking!!
