Day Fifteen: His Pursuit of God Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. —2 Peter 3:18 Sometimes we live so close to our spouse that we fail to see him as others do; we only see our husband’s faults. Today, take a step back. Look for ways that he is pursuing God and living a life of faith. Perhaps he is growing spiritually in ways you have failed to appreciate! How can you encourage his growth in a fresh, new way? Remember, your husband is accountable to God for his spiritual development. You are accountable to God to encourage and not hinder that growth. Action Step: Look for expressions of faith. Can you identify an area of spiritual strength in your husband? Does he pray or read his Bible regularly? Does he like to read about or discuss spiritual matters? Does he go to church with you? Is he a spiritual leader? What do others say about him? If you can identify a specific area, praise him for that. If you can’t find something to praise, pray earnestly that God will work in his heart, and watch for signs of spiritual growth in the future. A Wife’s Prayer Lord Jesus, more than anything else I want my husband to have a fruitful and growing relationship with You. Give him a desire for knowing and honoring You in every area of life. Forgive me for ways I have criticized his faith walk instead of encouraging him to pursue You. Thank You for loving him more than I do and wanting to be in relationship with him.
