Husband Advice from a Son to a Dad | Facing Your Blitz Weekly Video Devotion

,

Have your kids called you out? Mine have. Check out the killer husband advice my 13-year old gave me.

Game Plan: 

“A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure. Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.

“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.”

But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed. “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Luke 8:43-48, NLT

 

Time Out:

Like me, have you missed some moments to really notice and hear your wife? Those are missed opportunities to value, validate and affirm her. To love her.

Jesus was mega tuned-in to people. He could tell when someone touched his robe and healing power flowed from Him. You and I are not Jesus, but He wants us to be like Him, and He gave us His Spirit. Noticing, hearing and loving well takes caring. It takes focus. It takes a desire to cherish.

Like me, have you missed some moments to really notice and hear your wife? Those are missed opportunities to value, validate and affirm her. To love her.

 

Go Deep:

Ask God to help you pay attention, focus and really listen to your wife… and your kids. Give yourself a goal to hear, validate, and cherish the ones you love. Jesus noticed every need and every nuance. Imagine what it will mean to notice and cherish her. Seize your opportunities.

Arrogant Boss No More | Facing Your Blitz Weekly Video Devotion

,

As a leader, could you hear someone label you “arrogant” and agree to change? Watch and see what happened to a leader who heard those words.

Game Plan: (hear these words directly from Jesus to you)

“Sitting down [to teach], Jesus called the twelve [disciples] and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all [in importance] and a servant of all.” Mark 9:35, AMP

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves. 4 Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.5 Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility].” Philippians 2:3-5, AMP

 

Time Out:

Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest and most influential leader in history. Do you trust what He said about leadership?

In what ways and places are you arrogant? Where do you seek the credit and want to be “first”?

Wouldn’t it be cool if leaders were humble and kind…if they served and helped everyone on their team succeed? That starts with you and me.

 

Go Deep:

Jesus washed dirty feet. A business executive washed dishes and took out the trash. Take action. Assess yourself. Ask God to forgive your arrogance, pride and failure to serve others.

Get intentional. Talk to all people as equals and make them feel respected. Let someone cut you off on the freeway without an outburst. Look for ways to serve and make life easier for your family and people at work.

Humility grows wisdom and influence. To lead, serve. To be elevated in heaven, step down on earth.
