Genesis 2:15 The Lord God took the man
and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

God’s first direction for us was literally
to work and maintain our garden. Sounds easy, but gardens are tough to maintain
and can easily becoming overrun by weeds.

This garden can also be a metaphor for our marriage, where things can get messy and overwhelming quickly.

Ephesians 5:25 provides guidance… Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

As men we need to properly tend to our wives and families by praying for them, cherishing them, and complimenting them. The goal for marriage isn’t avoiding divorce, it’s to love your wife like Christ loved the church and be willing to sacrifice everything for her.

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.” – 1 Peter 5:6 (ESV)

Men are often admired for their strength, leadership, and independence. However, true strength in the eyes of God doesn’t come from asserting our own will or proving our might; it comes from submission. Submission to God means trusting His plan over ours, acknowledging our limitations, and leaning on His infinite wisdom and power.

In our daily lives, this means letting go of control: Recognize areas where you’re trying to steer your life without God’s guidance.

Leadership in Christ’s model is also about service. How can you serve your family, friends, or even strangers today in a way that reflects Christ’s love?

Lastly, understand that God’s timing is perfect. Even when you feel powerless or delayed, trust that He is working for your good.

Today, identify one area in your life where you’ve been resistant to God’s leading. Pray for the humility to submit that part to Him. Ask for the strength to wait patiently on His timing and to serve others in humility.

COT:

Excerpt from a 2002 John Piper in which he is talking about making war against areas of sin in your life.

Romans 8:13: “If by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Do you want to enter into life? Do you want to live? Get violent. Get a wartime mindset. Stop making peace with ears and eyes and tongues and hands and feet that betray you like Judas, and go over to the side of the enemy and become instruments of sin and make war on your soul. Put to death the deeds of your body……..
……It’s a violence against all lust in ourselves, and enslaving desires for food or caffeine or sugar or chocolate or alcohol or pornography or money or the praise of men and the approval of others or power or fame. It’s violence against the impulses in our own soul toward racism and sluggish indifference to injustice and poverty and abortion.
Christianity is not a settle-in-and-live-at-peace-with-this-world-the-way-it-is kind of religion. If by the Spirit you kill the deeds of your own body, you will live. Christianity is war — on our own sinful impulses…….
….. I hear so many Christians murmuring about their imperfections and their failures and their addictions and their shortcomings — and I see so little war. Murmur, murmur, murmur. “Why am I this way?” Make war! If you wonder how to make war, go to the manual. Don’t just bellyache about your failures. Make war!

COT:
In a world full of randomness people overestimate their ability to predict events. Just when we think we have it figured out, something unexpected happens. How we handle ourselves in these moments is critical. You can either let it defeat you, or embrace that it’s God’s plan for you. Choosing God’s path will positively shape your character.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
