@@inspireministries Thanks its the Truth! Your husband is a very lucky man ! My fiance is watching your videos as We speak!

@@TYLER-jz6uv SO awesome!!!! I am thrilled to know that!

Not 100% certain, but I think the amplified may add a lot of verbiage that’s not in the Biblical text, so basically interpreting/commentary…I prefer a pretty literal translation and leave the exposition to myself and teachers, ESV is my primary, LSB is a close second…NIV or TNIV are good choices also, just “looser” translations than the others I mentioned…translations like the NLT are basically paraphrases and way too loose for serious study in my opinion.

So glad you’re here!!! ❤️❤️

In the lord

Hi there!! Thanks for commenting! So glad you’re watching! Honestly.. the Bible. Just scripture. Looking up truths about wives and husbands. Our greatest resource ever is the holy scriptures. Just Jesus! ❤️

When Abigail met David, she showed the humility her husband should have exhibited. She “got down off her high horse,” threw herself to the ground, fell at his feet and pleaded with David. And notice how much she talked about the Lord: “Please forgive the sin of your servant, for the Lord will certainly establish the house of my lord, because my lord fights the battles of the Lord. May no evil be found in you all your days! When someone sets out to chase you and to take your life, the life of my lord will be wrapped securely in the bag of the living by the Lord your God. But he will sling away the lives of your enemies from the sling’s pocket! The Lord will do for my lord everything that he promised you, and he will make you a leader over Israel. Your conscience will not be overwhelmed with guilt for having poured out innocent blood and for having taken matters into your own hands. When the Lord has granted my lord success, please remember your servant.” Did you catch that? Abigail was focused on God. And she considered it evil to “take matters into your own hands”-the very action for which she is accused by contemporary critics. So…either this story is full of extreme irony or Abigail is a model of righteousness. Notice the future king's "God talk." He said, “Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you this day to meet me! Praised be your good judgment! May you yourself be rewarded for having prevented me this day from shedding blood and taking matters into my own hands! Otherwise, as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives-he who has prevented me from harming you-if you had not come so quickly to meet me, by morning’s light not even one male belonging to Nabal would have remained alive!” Did you catch that? David saw Abigail’s actions as preventing him from sin, as wise, and as guided by the Lord himself. A less honest wife would have hidden her actions from her man. But once everyone was out of danger, she summoned the courage to tell Nabal what she'd done-after he had sobered up, that is. And her words made him flip out so intensely that he had a stroke. Literally. Utter rage exploded in his head. And again David saw the circumstances as being from God. When he heard about Nabal’s death, he exclaimed, “Praised be the Lord who has vindicated me and avenged the insult that I suffered from Nabal! The Lord has kept his servant from doing evil, and he has repaid Nabal for his evil deeds.” David was so impressed with Abigail and how God used her that he sent for her to marry her.

Thank you for your question! I think that answer is different for everyone depending on many things... 1.) how financially stable you are, 2.) what season of life it is for you etc... I think the primary role of the wife and mom is to take care of her family and raise her babies. If there is something she can do from home that keeps her in those roles effectively, while still supporting in some way financially, then that should of course be done if need be. But I do know that there are times when a job has to be secured in order to contribute to household financial needs during different various times (short-lived would b the goal). I think scripture is our greatest resource for knowing how to navigate that (Prov 31, 1 Tim 5:9-10, Gen 2:18, Eph 5:33, 1 Pet 3:1-2, Titus 2:4-5, Eph 5:22-24, 1 Tim 3:11). I think these roles are given to women with a HIGH degree of honor, and navigating them while focusing on external responsibilities as opposed to keeping duties at home the primary target can be dangerous, and family life can suffer as a result.

Do not allow the voice of the enemy to be bigger than the voice of the Lord in your life. Are you saved? Have you been born again? Have you repented of your sin? Than you are a child of God. Your sins have already been paid for and you have already been redeemed by the blood of the lamb! Pray for God to renew your heart concerning this matter. Hand it over to God. Be honest with Him about how you feel and where you are and let Him take the pieces of your life and put things back together again. He is the ONLY one who can do it. You are MIGHTILY LOVED by an amazing God!!!

@tiffanykelley4619, I can see the confusion. If you go back to 1 Samuel 25, you will see that Abigail actually saved her household. She found out what her husband did and what the consequences of his actions were. So she went ahead and met with David and his men to plead to him. That act saved her household from a slaughter from David and his men.

The answer to your question about balance is this: as Ephesians 5:22-24 states that wives ought to submit to her (believing and unbelieving) husband in everything as unto the Lord, except if her husband is asking her to sin. For example, the Bible passage we get this from is in the book of Acts chapter 5. Because we are also told to submit to authority/government. But in Acts 5, the disciples told the authorities that they must obey God rather than men.

I do mention when I am reading commentary from Biblehub.com. Any other places would just be my reading over my notes I have made.

Thank you for contributing to the conversation. Serving and following a suffering servant (Jesus) is hard work that I don’t expect everyone to understand and I fully believe (and say in this series) that this does not mean staying in abuse. Not at all. I 100% don’t advocate for this. However we don’t decide in the covenant relationship of marriage to pick and choose which parts of God’s Word we will believe and receive as truth. It’s all truth or it’s all not truth. My loud and clear message is to honor the roles as husband and wife and the marriage. Abuse is never okay and dishonoring the Lord is never okay. ❤️. I hope you give the other messages a sincere listen as well.

Our feelings lie. We can’t base our surrendering to Jesus based on feelings and needs. Thank God He didn’t base His sacrifice for me based on those things. ❤️

Oh absolutely! If you cannot have kids, the Lord still has a plan for your life and for your marriage! Absolutely and glory to God for that!
