Imagine a team of dogs pulling a sled over the snowy plains of Alaska. All of a sudden the Master says, “Turn right.” But the lead dog turns left and the others follow.
So the Master stops the team, walks around to the lead dog, shakes his little face and says, “I told you to turn right.” Then he gets back in and off they go.
Again, the Master says. “Turn right.” And again the lead dog turns left. However, this time the dog behind him turns right like the Master said and in the process creates chaos among the team.
The Master stops the sled, walks around to the lead dog, shakes his little face and says, “I told you to turn right.” Then he walks to the next dog who obeyed his command to turn right shakes her little face and says, “I told you to follow the lead dog.”
Get it? Your husband is the Lead Dog. Your job is to follow the Lead Dog because that is what the Master really wants.
We wonder why there is chaos in our homes. Could it be our desire to control and lead? Relax in the comfort of knowing you are protected when you obey the Master and follow your husband’s lead. Your husband will be held accountable for his decisions. You will be held accountable for how you follow and support those decisions.
Love him, pray for him, support him and let him lead. This is one of the biggest ways we can bless our entire family.
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
