Philippians 2:3: “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves” (NAS).I read a devotional this morning about a woman who, on her husband's day off, made an appointment to get her haircut. She didn't mention it to him, simply figured that since he would be home, and he enjoyed spending time with their two children, that he would not mind watching them when she went. The day before, her husband came home and announced that he had made a golf date with some buddies for the next day. She responded, saying " that's great! I hope you have a wonderful day!". She didn't even tell him, she simply cancelled the appointment. This is a perfect example of sowing into her marriage the fruit of exactly what is described in the above verse. I'm certain that in her marriage as she sows this way, she will continue to reap a loving relationship. I pray that I'll be able to stop at each circumstance I am faced with and be able to respond the way God has commanded me to! what a tall order, but definately one that God has promised through him that I can do !!
