Praying for
your husband’s knees… when I think of kneeling, it reminds me of being humble.
To me there is nothing more humbling than to drop to the floor on my knees before
God… sometimes to praise & worship or sometimes just to pray & cry out!
I can
remember one time when I learned an impactful lesson about this very thing as a
young girl. There was some kind of conflict going on in our household… I have
no clue of what that was now. Whatever it was set my dad off for some reason…
now please know he was & still is an extremely patient man… I cannot
imagine what could have set him off with 3 daughters & a wife in the
house!! J Anyway, he realized he had treated
me unfairly & he came to me, got on his knees & asked for my
forgiveness… at the time I am sure I felt awkward about it all, but that memory
is still so vivid in my mind! That is the perfect picture of humility to me.
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
James 4:10
So as you
pray for your husband’s knees, pray that he will humbly submit to God’s plan
for his life & the life of your family. Pray against pride & the
pitfalls that can come with that. Ask God to show him those areas where he
needs to humble himself so that God can be the One to lift him up to greater
things.
You are
doing great, ladies! Only one more day!
Rejoicing in Truth!
