You’re a Pastor’s Wife and Don’t Play the Piano???

I’ve never met a minister’s wife who felt capable and adequate for the responsibility thrust upon her, particularly at first. But in time, the reality of 2 Corinthians 3:5 sets in and they find that the Lord is not only with her husband when he goes about the work of the shepherd, but He is just as much on the job with her. The real joy comes when she sees how God is using “my little bit.” Those words of love and encouragement, her ministry of prayer, the loaves of banana bread she bakes (eight at a time!) and distributes to certain ones in the congregation, and such.

God bless all pastors’ wives. And yes, the husbands of pastors also.

It’s the greatest life there is. But I cannot leave this matter there. Please read Matthew 10 starting with verse 16 and going through the end of the chapter. This is the fine print on the call God has given you and your spouse. So, don’t be surprised when the best people act in the worst way, my friend. Keep your eyes on the Lord and not on man.

People will let you down; He never will. Your sufficiency is of Christ and only Him.
