Engaging Our Culture: July 25-The Woman Behind their Man

Video of the Day: Clip from the 2006 movie “Amazing Grace”

Bible Verse of the Day:

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life, Proverbs 31:10-12.

Few movies highlight the woman behind a man who is elevated to his full potential due to her godly character. While today’s clip is a montage of Amazing Grace, these scenes reveal that Wilber Wilberforce’s wife continued to encourage and inspire him to fulfill God’s will for his life. This is the woman behind Wilber Wilberforce.

On the night of this post, I will be attending my third rehearsal dinner as a parent, but my first as the father of the bride. Zach asked for permission to marry Lydia while we were on vacation last year at Surfside Beach in South Carolina. As Lydia’s special day will be tomorrow, I’m praying that Lydia will be the woman behind Zach’s success in life.

Closing Song:

While I will have to wait for my father daughter dance tomorrow, Lydia’s high school and college Christian experiences has prepared her for marriage. As women learn to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, Galatians 5:25, they will become the woman behind their man.
