“It
was thus that Sarah obeyed Abraham [following His guidance and acknowledging
His headship over her by] calling him lord (master, leader, authority). And you
are now her true daughters if you do right and let nothing terrify you [not
giving way to hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you].” 1 Peter 3v6
(AMP)
God
loves us, His ways are best, and He can lead us in the best direction for our
lives, even to fulfill His purposes. Psalm 32v8 (NLT) says “The LORD says, “I
will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and
watch over you.” We see in the life of Abraham, how God speaks to him in
Genesis 12v1-5 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country,
and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew
thee:… So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with
him… And Abram took Sarai his wife…” Or how God revealed His plan through an
angel to Mary about her being the mother of Jesus, and thereafter would give
guidance to Joseph about when to depart from a particular place, when danger is
ahead e.t.c. Wives and husbands have important roles to play in the family, and
God can and does lead in the best pathway for life. The Dakes concordance gives
this commentary on 1 Peter 3v6 that “As Abraham is the father of all that
believe (Rom.4:12,16), so Sarah is here spoken of as being the mother of many
daughters who walk in her footsteps (v6).” It also notes on the “fear” as being
“Fear of detection for infidelity. If you do well, being faithful wives, as
Sarah, you will not live under fear of being found guilty of infidelities.” It
pays to walk with God, and in His purposes for our lives, our marriages, our
gifts… With so much going on in today’s world, it is imperative that we seek to
go deeper with the Lord and let Him guide and direct our lives, and marriages
and bring us into the fullness of all He has for us.
Prayer
Father,
we thank You for Your Word. We pray that You will lead each of us in the best
pathway for our lives. We pray for husbands and wives that there would be a
great sensitivity to the leading of Your Spirit for Your purpose and their
roles in the marriage, in Jesus name, amen.
