After I woke up this morning in the hotel room, I was eager to spend some time with the Lord. Not having anyone to be responsible for was weird as my kiddos are at home with Mark. I got a cup of coffee and spent some time in prayer and confession from the day before.
Later in the evening after getting back home, I read over Proverbs 31 again and parked on verse 12 that reads "she brings him (her husband) good, not harm all the days of her life." I began really thinking about this.
Do I truly do this? What would he say? I don't think I necessarily harm him, but I don't think I really BRING him good a lot. The word BRING really stuck out to me. To bring something means you have to make an effort, a choice to do it. I don't know. Do I make an effort and go out of my way to bring him good. I don't think I do most of the time. Most of my energy is on the kids. I know I nag too much and am still learning how to show him that I love him, appreciate him, respect him, and am his #1 fan. I pray for God to show me how to do that because God created him and knows what works with him so who better to ask then his creator. I do desire to bring him good and I need to make the decision to do so.
Tomorrow I think I am going to dig deeper into verse 12 and see how other versions word it.
