Although I was greatly saddened on yesterday, I also knew I had to stay focused on my faith. Praising God when things are great is an easy thing to do, but giving him the praise when you are hurting opens up the gates of heaven. My Pastor has often said you cannot have a true testimony if you do not have faith in the midst of the struggle or while you wait on God.
Today, I was finally able to get to one of the historic museums here in Amsterdam and it amazed me how God showed up on the walls of the museum to speak to me about our situation. As I walked through the Rembrant exhibit I saw a painting that was a depiction of Rebecca and Isaac and in another exhibit was Abraham and Sarah. The Lord used each of these paintings to speak into my spirit about waiting on him. What was so awesome is the night prior after hearing the disappointing news; I spoke about both these stories in the bible as I stood in a place of faith about adoption.
Today, I honor my husband through faith; faith that while we continue to wait on the Lord I will continue to praise God no matter what the situation. I know that by honoring my husband through faith I am also honoring God's word. Wives of the world, how do you honor your husband when it comes to a disappointing situation? Do you stand in a place of faith and belief in him and the Lord or do you lose sight of what the Lord has promised? Please share how you do or can honor your husband through faith in the Lord.

Hi!
I am a little behind in reading your comments, Rochelle....but I read them! (smile). Day 12 - Honoring My Husband Through Faith - struck a cord with me that I'd like to share. Interestingly, I tend to be the more "faithful" spouse in my relationship with my husband. However, when I was faced with a grave disappointment...I caved. I truly have to Honor My Husband for standing in the gap THROUGH FAITH for me during that trying time. He set such a great example for me that I now more than ever, try to be there for him through faith...our faith.
It is so awesome to know we can be there for our spouses and they can be there for us as well. Like you, I am typically the one with more faith, but then there are those times when I need the wisdom and faith of Bryan to see me through. I love that God gives us what we need in each other. Rochelle
