Sunday Music: Sanctus Real | Lead Me

This song has always struck a cord on my heartstrings.

It’s a love song, in my eyes, and yet it is a call out to all men who are married.

To LEAD!

Being the spiritual leader is not easy. No, not easy at all. It is downright hard.

It goes beyond us as men just praying for ourselves and learning to apply scripture in our own lives.

As married men we have to learn how to put the lives of our loved ones first and foremost and ourselves last.

Yes, being a leader is actually being a servant!

It means giving of your time to your children when all you want to do is relax for a little while. There is no later or a little while in the eyes of a child. Your later is thirty minutes. Theirs is five at most.

It means giving of your time for your spouse. I’m not talking sex…yet. I’m talking time helping. She will never be willing to “submit” if all you do is sit on your butt when you get home from work and leave the house work to her after she, herself, has spent eight hours at work too.

It means setting time aside to read the Bible not just by yourself, which you should, but as a family together.

It means praying with your kids as you help tuck them into bed at night…

It means holding your wife’s hand as you are praying together either in the morning as you getting ready for work or before you lay your heads down at night.

It means loving and respecting your wife so well that your daughter sees the type of man she will want to date and later marry. And that your son will see the man he needs to be like when he starts to date and later marries the woman of his dreams.

LEAD by example!

It also means having sex with your wife not just when you want it but when she wants it as well.

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
1 Corinthians 7:3‭-‬5 KJV

When are we as people going to realize that sex is not just physical, but a mental and spiritual bonding that God created.

Why do you think the devil tries so hard to pervert sex. He knows how powerful it is…just saying.

It means not getting your new golf clubs, car, gun, etc, to ensure that your families needs are met first.

It means taking your wife’s opinions on things seriously and then you both seek God’s guidance.

It means being unselfish.

It means being naked and unafraid with your feelings and communication.

It means, just as we search scripture and pray to learn and draw closer to God, we must never stop learning about our wives and our children.

It means being intentional to stay active in their daily lives.

It means being on guard 24/7/365 because the devil (our true enemy) knows how to kill and destroy. And to destroy a marriage he will go for the head through any means possible.

And you dear husband are the leader/head of the family. Take the calling God gave you as your top priority!

So hit your knees dear husband, asking the Lord to lead you daily so you can lead them…because you can not lead them alone.

I know because I tried it on my own and I failed more times than I care to admit.

Guys these books will help…

I have read all four, they have changed my life in many ways. I highly recommend them!
