The Responsibility of a Husband

Quite a while ago I was watching television and during the adverts a quote came up. It said, 'the little things you do everyday could lead to big things for your family.' As one sometimes does in those moments, when God's Word to you is so blatant, I was slightly taken a back! I immediately found my phone and took a photo of the screen!

If there is one thing I am passionate about it is seeing families restored to reflect everything that God intended them to be. Having only been married for two years, I find myself often thinking about my God-given responsibility as a Husband and Head to my home.


Here is a simple encouragement to all Husbands.

But you shall seek the Lord at the place which the Lord your God will choose... to establish His name there for His dwelling and there you shall come... There also you and your households shall eat before the Lord your God and rejoice in all your undertakings in which the Lord your God has blessed you.  Deuteronomy 12:5,7

From reading the above this morning, I was reminded of three reasons as to why it is so important that Husbands find that place of seeking the Lord.

As you seek Him, you establish His name in your home that He might dwell with you and your family.
As you feed on His word, you eat not only for yourself but for the protection and covering of your Wife.
As you rejoice in His presence, you set in motion an atmosphere of faith for blessing within your home. 

From the little I have seen, a home that is in order always has a Husband whose life in order.
