Nothing like a good Christian concert to wrap up
the National Day of Prayer. What a reminder of the praise and worship we are to
give our King every day. He is good and it is also good to see those around us
giving their hearts to Him. As someone pointed out, it is days like this that
bring out the hearts of people and you really can look around you to see who
else is following the Lord along with you. Be blessed my friend.

Husbands, love wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians 3:19
After Paul goes at it with a verse about how wives should act toward husbands, he then turns the table around for the men. Husbands you should take careful thought to what is r now being told you, for it is a command from the Lord. What kind of love is this that Paul talks of though? It is actually a Greek word which gets confused with the divine love of God. The word is really referring to being completely sold out to something or devoted to a purpose or thing. This same word is used in the way that men loved the best seats in the synagogue.
Now with the kind of love we are talking of here there is a choice. This is the kind of attitude that men are to have with their wives in which they put themselves aside in order to bring out the best in their wife. So husbands are to put their own desires and thoughts aside when it comes to loving. There is also the second part to this verse in that we should not be bitter with our wives.
When it comes to this passage on loving your wife it can actually take on a couple thoughts. First do not treat your wife in a way which would cause her to be upset or grieve. Any husband knows what it means to be able to use words as weapons and knowing what buttons to push. Never be out to cause frustration, for doing so causes strife and that is not a good direction to take your marriage. So then husbands should love their wives with all willingness to support and uplift them to be the women God created.
