Please read 1 Peter 3.
Meditate on verse 8.
To sum up, all of you be harmonious,
sympathetic, brotherly,
kindhearted, and humble in spirit.
Peter
shepherded wives, husbands, and everyone in 1 Peter 3. Wives were exhorted to
submit to their own husbands in the same way Jesus submitted to God the Father.
Husbands were exhorted to understand and honor their wives. And everybody was
to bless others.
Remember the
Word of God is enduring (1 Peter 1:23), and it is the wisdom of God versus demonic
wisdom (James 3:15). The exhortations in 1 Peter 3 have not changed or become
old-fashioned. God still says, “Wives submit to your own husbands. Your gentle
and quiet spirit is precious in My sight. Husbands live with your wives in an
understanding way and honor her as a fellow heir of My grace, so I will hear
your prayers.”
This is
timeless truth that improves marriage relationships. Pray 1 Peter 3:8-9 over
the relationships you guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
please help _________ and me
be
harmonious, sympathetic,
brotherly,
kindhearted, and humble in spirit.
Do not
let us return evil for evil or insult for insult,
but let
us give a blessing instead
because
we were called for that very purpose
so that
we might inherit a blessing.
In Your
name, Jesus~”
