IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JUNE 29, 2012
DAUGHTERS OF SARAH
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 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. I Peter 3:1-6
As we live by faith, we will see that God's grace is sufficient for every task and for every season. Sarah had respect for Abraham, because she had respect for God. The daughters of Sarah must have respect for their husbands, because we trust in God. We must see our husband through eyes of grace, with eyes of faith...calling him lord. Then shall we submit to our husband's authority, as unto the Lord, with a meek and quiet spirit.
Today, let us be the daughters of Sarah.
