The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility." (Proverbs 15:33)
Sometimes, when we just "know" we are right and our husbands are wrong, it takes great humility to honor them. It is difficult to speak well of our husbands when our own hearts are puffed up with pride.
As part of your challenge today, pray that you will respond to the Lord in faith and humility before you react to your husband. Speak wisely and well, and leave the results to God.
The humility that comes from a right relationship with God--the humility that comes when a man is willing to listen to God and be taught from His Word--is indeed a beautiful quality. Jesus was an example of this kind of humility when he was willing to submit to His Father's will (John 6:38; Matthew 26:39).
Does your husband have that kind of humility? Is he willing to learn from and submit to direction from the Lord? Let your husband know how precious this is to your marriage relationship.: My husband willingly follows the calling of the Lord. He looks to the Lord for direction in his every move. I am so grateful that the Lord leads my husband, and my husband is a faithful follower.

Pride has been at times a struggle for me...I always have to be very conscious about it not to get all puffed up.
I really enjoy reading your posts about this 30-day challenge.
