Marriage - The Desert or the Promised Land?

So I've been meditating on Sarah. She was quite a woman and she married a man that God spoke to, God walked among, and a man that God made a covenant with that would eventually bless her and the world. She had to be a pretty tough sister to be hooked up to a brother like that. Yes, they had their ups and downs, ins and outs, but being married to Abraham got so good to Sarah that she called him lord( master).

I Peter 3:1-6
1 In the same way, you wives should yield to your husbands. Then, if some husbands do not obey God's teaching, they will be persuaded to believe without anyone's saying a word to them. They will be persuaded by the way their wives live.2 Your husbands will see the pure lives you live with your respect for God.3 It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful.4 No, your beauty should come from within you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God.5 In this same way the holy women who lived long ago and followed God made themselves beautiful, yielding to their own husbands.6 Sarah obeyed Abraham, her husband, and called him her master. And you women are true children of Sarah if you always do what is right and are not afraid.
COME BACK, COME BACK!!! I know I just lost half of you right there.LOL!!!

If you are like me you were raised that you were woman and the world should hear you ROAR!!!! You didn't need a man to do anything for you and you definitely didn't need a man to make you feel important. You KNEW you had it going on and that's all the mattered. Well....as a single woman that mentality will keep you from a lot of foolishness but as a married woman.... Now I'm not saying that you can't be an independent gotta it going on type of woman. I'm just saying that you don't need to announce it or ROARRRRR it, every time you feel the need to take control. Now I'm preaching to me too because this is the desert that I'm leaving right now as I begin my walk into the promised land! God has shown me that He has given men positional authority, whether they(men) like it, or we like it, whether they walk in it or we walk in it with them as submissive helpmates...it is what it is!! Can I be REAL! The world has and is attempting to pervert the order that God has ordained for the family! Too many of God's daughters have fallen or is currently falling for that lie and it's time to walk in the truth.

God knows that we are intelligent, beautiful, giving, compassionate, nurturing beings He made us that way, BUT He still made man FIRST, and even though Adam messed up by following Eve's act of disobedience, God did not take that positional authority away from Adam. We all know that Adam could've said bye Boo, I'll see ya around. No instead Adam got in on it, and landed on the other side of the Garden..man that's messed up to this day!LOL!! What am I saying sisters and brothers. God has given man the responsibility of being in charge regardless and He's given us as women the responsibility to help them. No matter what God expects us to respect that authority at ALL TIMES, I'll have more on Thursday. For now pray and ask the LORD if you are honoring your husband's God given positional authority the way that God wants you to..in a way that brings glory to God and blessing to you!

Pray about it!!!
