What is it your wife (or your daughter, your sister, or your mom) uniquely brings to the world? Does she set a table of hospitality? Is she a gifted and empathic listener? Perhaps she’s a natural at sports and physical activities, or a fierce advocate for the oppressed. What are the things she loves to do and the things that flow from who she is?
Like you, she possesses a glory and a particular way she bears the image of God. She too has had, and will have, unique roles and assignments along her feminine journey. And the enemy fears what she might become, for darkness knows she has a glory of her own.
Could it be that Satan came after Eve rather than Adam not because she was the “lesser or weaker one” but because she was critical? Take out the ezer with a lie and get the man too. Regardless, the serpent’s goal was a two-for-one, and it has been that way ever since. So, against man and woman’s common enemy, our greatest weapon as warrior-kings is blessing our queen by speaking words of life over her. Affirming her glory. And patiently partnering with God for her heart while pursuing God for our own.
