World vs. Christ

Today we are looking at what we praise our spouse for accomplishing. Is it for getting a promotion at work? For cleaning the house? For helping the kids get good grades? What does God say we should praise our spouses for...in today's journey we learn that God rejoices in the truth. God praises the truth. Who's truth you may ask? Well, it's God's truth and for us that means the bible. Living and leaning on the bible daily will help you to understand God's truth and when you see your spouse exhibiting God's truth, that is praiseworthy. This is where you should heap on praises and thanksgiving. So when my husband prays tonight over dinner, I may mention that it pleases God and me to see that. When my husband helps with the dishes, I may mention that it pleases God to see him serve. When my husband works hard, I may mention that is good. Really doing God's work is the most pleasing for us to see in each other. It brings a smile to our faces and God shines a light on us. I pray for a day that God's light shines on me continually. That I may honor God in everything I do and if someone notices okay but I know that God will notice. His notice is the most important.

Praise your spouse for everything but save your heartiest praise for their works in God.
