Listen to Him

 

"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior." (Ephesians 5:22-23)

Yesterday, I was offered a contract by Triology Christian Publishing to rebrand and market Fish Fry. As I fretted over the decision and begged God for clear instructions, I "happened" upon a message by a young woman from Africa. She said:

"If you are in a godly marriage, humble yourself, listen to your husband, and do what he says."

So I asked Phillip — for the second time — what he thought I should do. (Yes, I confess. He had already answered my question hours before.)

"Move forward," he replied — again.

This time, I listened, and God's peace flooded my soul.

Begging God for guidance, beloved? Has the Lord sent instructions that you ignored?
