May1-May7; Chapters 14,15; His Integrity, His Reputation

hey girls, hope you're all doing well, and praying your hubbies are being prayed for regularly! :)

here's your food for thought:

-On page 118 Stormie quotes Prov. 20:7, she points out that this week, in praying for our husbands to have integrity, it's sort of a "two for one special" in that it is something that is passed on to our children as well. That makes me want to be sure I continue to pray for his integrity so much more, and that he passes that on to his sons, that they may be men of integrity, honesty, dependability, etc! Also remember our prayers for their integrity help shield them from the negatives that can cause them to doubt themselves.

-I also hadn't thought about praying for my husband's reputation as having a part in my own, such as in the Proverbs 31 woman: her husband is "known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land"... thoughts?

here are your discussion questions for yourselves and with your partners:

Read John 16:13. In light of this Scripture, how can you pray for moral and ethical guidance for your husband?

Read Prov.22:1. Why do you think God puts such a high value on having a good reputation? Aren't we not supposed to care what others think of us?? :)

What are 3 ways reputations can be ruined? (p.121)

Have a great week ladies!
