“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” – Galatians 3:28
PONDER THIS
I want to tell you something about my wife, Joyce. I love her with all my heart, but she knows she’s not first in my life. She knows God is first in my life. And she doesn’t mind being second. Now, she’s first among all human beings, but she’s second in my life. She knows I can love her more by putting her second than I ever could by putting her first. And I know I’m not first in Joyce’s life. I know I’m second; I don’t mind that because she loves me with a love that she could not love me with had she not fortified her faith in the Lord. In 1 Peter 3:7, the Bible speaks of us “as being heirs together of the grace of life.” What does it mean to be heirs together? That’s joint heirs. That means share-and-share-alike. There’s no male superiority and female inferiority when it comes to trusting in God.
The spiritual oneness Joyce and I have is oneness in Christ Jesus. I’m a male and she’s a female, but we are one in the Lord Jesus Christ. I say without stutter, stammer, or apology, the secret of our home is God Himself.
- What would it look like to put God first in your life? What would change? What would stay the same?
- How does having the Lord as the first priority in your life affect the way you love your spouse and others?
PRACTICE THIS
Ask God to reveal any priorities that do not honor Him.
