A WOMAN'S PLACE - PART 3 OBEDIENCE

GOOD DAUGHTERS

1 Peter 3: 6 (TLB)

Sarah, for instance, obeyed her husband Abraham, honoring him as head of the house. And if you do the same, you will be following in her steps like good daughters and doing what is right; then you will not need to fear offending your husbands

The scripture above shows Sarah as an obedient wife, honoring him and respecting him.  The KJV states that she called him lord.

Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

What is your take of that scripture?
How far should obedience be regarded? 
Does that mean that you should let the husband have the last say in a decision?
When should you not obey?

TODAY'S TOPIC:  OBEDIENCE - FEAR OF OFFENDING 

Take a look at the TLB version which states that if you obey your husband and doing what is right you will not fear offending him.

 

Share your experience and or views either way...

1. Do you think that some women obey because of fear of offending or perhaps fear for their lives?
2. Do you believe that as a wife you should obey and not offend or disrespect?

Take a look at the highlighted area in the following scripture -Titus 2:5 (KJV)

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

What value does obedience add to the the last part of the verse, "that the word of God be not blasphemed?" (Give examples of its relevance) 

Remember, God has called wives to obey their husbands and be respectful.  Honor should be given to him as the head of the household regardless of your background job position or education.  This is the order of the household by design.  Doing right will make you less anxious and unintimidated.  Be obedient so none would think less of God's word.
