Day Twenty-six
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
(Luke 2:52)
If you have faithfully encouraged your husband, you will no doubt have seen some
changes in his life . . . and your own life, as well.
Encouragement is a wonderful habit that I hope you will continue for the rest of your life.
The important thing is to keep growing in Christ and obeying the Word of God as you
respond to your husband. As you consider today how to bless your husband and not
tear him down, think of ways that you can encourage balance in your home.
Jesus led a balanced life. He grew mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. As you
see your husband branching out in these areas, is there a pattern of growth? Is your
husband striving for balance in his life? If so, let him know you have noticed, and ask
how you can further encourage that balance.
If your husband is out of balance—focusing on one area to the exclusion of the others—consider whether there are things you can do to help restore or create balance in his
life. Can you encourage times for sports or exercise? Keep the children quiet for a study
time? Invite friends over for dinner? Stimulate his mind?
Be sure you are working toward balance in your own life, as well. Be an example!
