OT: Need Courage
Our Tuesday night Bible Study has been looking at Ephesians. I have been strongly convicted of my stubborn sinfulness in the area of submission. I have been holding onto grudges and wanting my hubby to be "worthy" of my submission (
what arrogance!) Good thing Jesus does not use my standard when it comes to Grace! Tomorrow night we will be diving into Ephesians 5:22-32. I am convicted and called to repent before my God and now will be "found out" by my peers. I have confessed to God, asked hubby for forgiveness and struggle daily to repent of my pride and lack of trust (I was raised by an alcoholic father and mentally unstable mother, years of serious neglect and child abuse). I have had years of therapy but still cling to my "self sufficiency" in times of stress. Hubby has been unreliable, detached and has had serious problems with anger and depression from the beginning of our marriage. He currently refuses therapy and takes medication. I was lead to 1 Peter 3:1-2 as an answer to prayer about "what to do about him" (). I am focused on my relationship with God and making that my priority right now, I just cited James 4:7-8 to someone in another post...it's been on my heart for awhile now and a great source of strength...my priority is to submit. It's a daily death to self and won't be completed until heaven.
