Do you dream of being the king of your domain one day? The king of your house? Ruler of all of your land?
I thought I was going to be the king of my household before I got married. I was certain I would rule and reign.
Man, was I wrong.
First of all a man does not rule and reign over his family.
He leads them. To lead he must be down in the battle, not sitting on a throne, wearing his crown, and having others wait on him. A leader will be at the forefront of the charge of the battle. A leader will stand for what is right even when it costs him dearly.
Second of all, if a man wants a happy healthy marriage and family he will take input from his family, especially his wife, who is his equal. “Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” – Ephesians 5:25.
A family is a gift.
All to often in todays culture, that gift is taken for granted or set aside.
Boys chase their dreams, for “a better life” when in reality they would have the best life possible if they would spend as much time taking part in their families lives as they do all the unnecessary self-imposed “duties” of work and hobbies.
The King of Kings is calling you to a higher standard.
Will you answer His call?
