December 7th – Ephesians 5:23-25
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, (NKJV) For further study, Ephesians 5
Prayer Focus: God, I pray that Christian husbands would stand up and be all that You asked them to be to their wives and their children, let them love them as they should even when they are disobedient and refuse to follow their leadership.
