“One of our highest callings is to come alongside our husbands and help them to be the men that God has called them to be so that we can be the couple that God has called us to be.” In 1 Corinthians 11, we are reminded that God has given a proper order to everything. As wives, God has given us the beautiful assignment of building up our husbands and submitting to them, just as Jesus submitted to the Father’s will. When we place God as supreme in our lives, He will give us what we need to love and serve others as He has called us to.

ABOUT OUR GUEST

I was new in town and saw a Moms in Prayer flyer inviting moms to attend a group meeting. I dropped in on the meeting and it was great! The four steps format was easy to follow and we prayed Scripture straight from the Bible over our children and their schools. We prayed together in small groups of two or three. It was comforting to know that what we prayed about stayed in our group. We went through many trials and struggles with all of our children, but the comfort and peace I had every time I left those meetings was indescribable. We had indeed gone to battle for our children through prayer.

I was born in Alabama. I am a wife, mom, Bible teacher, Board certified Biblical Counselor and Co-founder with my husband at Ready to Remarry Ministries. I love serving with Moms in Prayer as State Coordinator of Mississippi. I have a burning desire in my heart to see others learn about the love of Jesus and how He can transform their lives. Prayer changes things; I know this for sure. My husband, James, and I are blessed with seven children. That’s a lot of prayers, for sure. One of the very best things you can do for your children and others in this world today is pray. I will be, and I hope you will join me!

“When we are pursuing anything besides God, we are never fulfilled. But when we are pursuing Him, He fills us and we are satisfied in Him.” Today we finish out chapter 10 of 1 Corinthians with our Director of Finance, Marianne Holm. She reminds us of the incredible freedom we have in Christ and also the joy of obedience. God created us to love and serve Him and others. Many times, that means laying down our own wants to be a light and encouragement to others. And yet, in that, we find true joy and satisfaction. Lord, help us lay down our own desires and pride so we may better love You and others.

SCRIPTURES

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14 ESV

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, John 6:68 ESV

And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 1 Corinthians 8:11-12 ESV

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 ESV

“There is a battle for our affections.” In 1 Corinthians 10, we are reminded how easily the Israelites fell into idolatry and temptation despite the miracles they saw God perform and how He provided for them each step of the way. And yet, we too are sheep who are easily led astray by our flesh and the desires of this world. As we stay aware and remember what God has done, we can be thankful people and see and experience God’s best. Hear more from our Director of Finance, Marianne Holm, in the podcast.

SCRIPTURES

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. Exodus 13:21-22 ESV

Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. Exodus 14:19-20a ESV

“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?

Who is like you, majestic in holiness,

awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11 ESV

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2 ESV

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Romans 1:21-23 ESV

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 ESV

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:9-11 ESV
