The Dude Was Right...

Hello All ~

I trust my husband. Really, I do. I cant’ say I’ve always agreed with him, but I do trust him. It’s not a blind trust. It comes from watching him seek God in his day- to- day living. But it also comes from years of witnessing him making the right decisions. I remember times when I just knew he was missing what I was saying! His perception was not as clear as mine, I was sure. My way made perfect sense and undoubtedly was the best action we could take. He would always listen. But he wouldn’t act unless he felt peace to do so, no matter how passionate my plea.

Come to find out…the dude was right, most every time! So that is why I trust him. Once again a big decision is ahead. I want one thing. He…not so much…. But I don’t want to push my way. I remember, he’s usually right.

In reality, he’s not “always” right. He’s human. But here’s the bottom line. It’s not my job to make sure he’s right. It’s my job to share my heart, pray and obey/support whatever decision he makes. He has to answer to God for it, not me. I will answer to God for how well I submitted to him.

Here is what dawned on me this morning, mulling this over. I love Ronnie. I’ll be loyal to him and respect his leadership even if he does make a wrong decision. It’s not because he wants to make mistakes. He’s just human…but I’ve given my heart to him and so I’ll follow.

But there is One who never makes a wrong decision on my behalf. When God tell me no or that my way isn’t going to happen, it’s because He is always right! Always. Why can I trust my earthly husband and not my heavenly One? My best interest is forever His priority. I don’t even have to follow Him purely out of loyalty or duty. I can follow Him with complete confidence. So what’s my problem? Trust and obey. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5&6

Hope & Glory! To You – Love
