Proverbs 3:6 Lean On God First, Then Your Husband

Proverbs 3:6 Lean On God First, Then Your Husband encouragements for wives devotionals for wives and marriage proverbs Unveiled Wife

Today is May 3rd, respectively I read Proverbs 3 and it is one of my favorite passages in the bible. Proverbs 3:5-6 says

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.”

It is a great passage of scripture to meditate on and memorize!  As a wife its easier for me to trust in my husband and lean on his understanding instead of trying to lean on god, but its so important that I know how to trust the Lord and lean on god FIRST and ALWAYS!

    i am going through the same thing, except i beleive I spoke things into existence.. and anger breeds negativaty and satan ran with it right to my husband being unfaithful & in jail on top of it when he admitted it!!  I knew he was hiding something, but God removed him for a short while for ME to look at myself and to lean on HIM first, not my husband.  I have forgiven him, and slowly forgetting, but God is now number 1 in my life, not mt husband, and (big IF)my husband makes God 1st in his life too, we can make it through this!!

    I have been being convicted of this very thing this week. God is bringing me to my knees and demanding that I put him first. I have always prided myself on marrying my best friend and thinking hat we’ve got it all together because we have put effort into our marriage. I have even gone so far as to look down my nose at people who “couldn’t make it work”. For the first time in our 4 years of marriage we have hit a wall. I feel abandoned and lonely since we have different work schedules. Because of this I have acted out begging him for his time, but everything I’ve said comes across the wrong way and in turn he feels that I don’t trust him and I’ve belittled his job. To be honest I am awake at 12am (I am NOT a night person) because I had a revelation that I don’t trust him. This terrifies me! I’m not quite sure how to fix that; he’s actually not done anything to be disloyal, I realize this is Satin attacking my mind and marriage. In the midst of this struggle I Have realized that I never quite gave my marriage over to God, thinking that I was doing perfectly fine on my own. What a wake up call! I have felt a peace since coming to my knees and giving my marriage to God, but Satan is still attacking my trust issue. God keeps calling me back and calming my mind and taking the burden from my hands, but it is an hourly challenge. I post this so that if you see it you can say a prayer as well, but also for others that may be going through the same thing. It is comforting to know that God can handle our problems far better than we ever can and also that we as wives are in this together.

    Charms is deceptive and beauty disappears, but a woman who honors the Lord should be praised.  Proverbs 31:30
