The Wife and The Rib

LESSON 2
From: A Wife's Biblical Submission


God made man on the sixth day. And when He made the first man (Adam) and the first woman (Eve), they were the only ones of their kind in all creation. All of creation was spoken into existence, except for Adam and Eve. Adam was "formed" out of the dust of the earth and Eve was formed from one of the ribs from the man, Adam. That is why Adam said of Eve:

"This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

Have you ever wondered why God used the bone from the man's rib to form the woman? I have. I used to wonder why God didn't use a piece of bone from the man's head so the wife could be over her husband. Or why God didn't use a bone from the man's shoulder so the wife could have an equal role and duties as her husband. Why didn't God use a bone from the man's thumb so his wife could be under his constant pressure. And why didn't God use a bone from the man's foot so the wife could be used as a feeble and dirty doormat? Why did God use the rib?

We know that our God is a God of purpose and of order. Our God does nothing out of frivolity like many of us do. God does everything with the specific intent to work the good of all those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). What's the "good" you ask? It's not the "silver lining" in a bad situation, it's being conformed into the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29).

So, what's the deal with the wife and the rib? To find the answer, let's take a look at the make-up and function of the rib. The rib is:

1. located on the man's side
2. delicate, yet strong at the same time
3. only covers the two most vital organs of man:

* his heart
* his lungs

ow, with what we know for certain about our awesome and purposeful God and with what we know about the make-up and function of the rib, we can see clearly why God used the rib out of the man to form the wife.

God used the rib to show both the man and the woman that the woman was made to be by the man's side.

* To walk alongside him, to bless, support and protect him, to be the closest thing to his heart.

God made the woman delicate in nature (that's why we get our feelings hurt more easily than men and even get physically injured more easily than men). But we are also strong. We are stubborn (sometimes in a good way and sometimes bad).

Our strength gives us the ability to fight for our families and all that we believe in. And last but not least,

we protect the two most vital organs of man, his heart and lungs. The heart pumps the very life-blood of the man throughout his entire body and the lungs give the man the ability to have breath. Without these two organs or if either is injured, it is impossible for a man to function well and could even cause the man to die.


Therefore, we can clearly assess that the very life-blood of a husband, his vigor, all that he breathes in and breathes out is dependent on his wife's protection.

A thought to ponder:
There is no one or no thing in all the earth God has created that God gave the ability to either be the most injurious or that provides the greatest blessing and strength to a husband than his wife.
How will you use the "power" God gave you, today?

My Gracious Moment With God:

I am so convicted reading this. I believe God has guided Sunny in coming up with this biblical and truthful lesson on " The Wife and The Rib"

I failed on this many times, I have been so selfish that I care more about my feelings that I forgot to protect my husband's heart!!

My husband often times remind me of this, he would tell me "Even if you are disappointed or hurt please don't forget to protect my heart"

In God's GRACE, I will and beg him to lead me and help me protect my husband's heart at all times and be more concern of his feelings more than my own.

Journey to Becoming a Biblical Submissive Wife

Biblical Submission is:

A Beautiful Gift for your husband and
A Precious Offering To God!!


A wife's Biblical submission is vital to the family unit and a wife's effectiveness in her role as help-meet to her husband, therefore we will follow God's divine order of things (1 Corinthians 14:40):

1. GOD FIRST: Matthew 6:33 & 10:37-39; Luke 14:33; Mark 12:30-31; Proverbs 31:30; Psalm 88:13; Psalm 1:1-3;

2. SPOUSE SECOND: Genesis 2:18-20, 3:16; Ephesians 5:22-24; 1 Corinthians 11:3, 8-9; 1 Timothy 2:13, 3:4-5; Titus 2:3-5

3. CHILDREN THIRD: Psalm 78:3-5; Titus 2:4; Deuteronomy 6:7; Proverbs 10:1; Proverbs 13:24; Proverbs 19:18; Proverbs 29:17; Malachi 2:15; Hebrews 12:8

4. HOMEMAKING FOURTH: Proverbs 31:10-31; Titus 2:3-5

5. "MINISTRY" FIFTH: Volunteering (at church & childrens' school), work, others (extended family, church family, friends) & Hobbies: 1 Timothy 2:10, 5:9-10; 1 Corinthians 12:7: Acts 9:36; 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12; Romans 12:10 & 13: 1 Peter 4:9-11)

Living this life out of God's order is asking for chaos to reign in our lives, causing us to be unfruitful and living in constant haste (2 Peter 1:3-9).

GRACIOUS MOMENT WITH THE LORD!!

In HIS Grace, I am privileged to learn HIS Precious Word as HIS daughter and a Wife to My Husband.

In meditating the bible verses, in God's leading and guidance...
I have seen how far I am to becoming a Biblical Submissive Wife.

I've seen flosses toward my Savior, my first love in whom I treasured and loved deeply and genuinely. It's not a reason to be sad, but to leap in joy believing that HE is calling me to repentance.

I wanted to repent and faithfully pursue to be a Biblical Submissive Wife to glorify and honor HIS Name and my GIFT to my Husband and future children.

As I meditate and genuinely reflect HIS Precious Word, and am in tears, that I just control myself.HIS Word is so powerful, soothing to the soul.

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" 1 Peter 4:10
- A Calling to be A Good Steward of His GRACE-



I believe I need to repent on many things:

* First, in letting God to be the FIRST in my heart and my daily life once again....

* Second, to love my husband more and more. Patience on his flosses. Extend love and patience when I don't understand his actions.Encourage him instead to share his feelings and listen.
To be concern of his feelings more than my own. To be compassionate when he is hurt.

*I knew how I messed up as a Home Maker. Am not the one that a husband should be proud of. I needed to kneel down and ask HIM to lead me to repentance.

In my heart, I know how I wanted to be the Home Maker that God wants me to be.

I need to repent on basic household chores, like cooking, cleaning the house, folding the clothes, etc.

IN SPITE OF MY SHORTCOMINGS, I FELT, EXPERIENCE AND LIVE THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF MARRIAGE FILLED WITH LOVE, FAITH, KINDNESS, THOUGH IT HAS SADNESS AND CHALLENGES IN THE MIDST. STILL, IT'S A GIFT I AM GRATEFUL FOR AND I TREASURE..


"Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity." Acts 9:36 ESV
~BE A WOMAN OF CHARITY~

Bahay BJ desires to serve the Lord

Verse of the day

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”- Joshua 24:15

Custom Design

Arrived at home at the usual time 8pm PT. I got a bit dizzy with the way the driver of the van drove.

I usually get off at Concepcion Market, so it gives me no excuse not to buy some fresh goodies and cook it at home.

I was really tempted not to buy nor to cook because I was really feeling dizzy and would like to rest instead of cooking.

I believe God talked to my heart...it seems like He was saying, it's worth to sacrifice.Reminding me of his word, (that I studied at Biblically submissive wife) that a wife does good to her husband and not harm. So, I decided to buy and I cooked at home. Fried Chicken, yummy! hahaha

Anyways, before I did that I soaked the chicken at the soysauce with calamansi, so it gives me time to relax.

I read the book we have "YOU~ GOD's BRAND NEW IDEA MADE TO BE AMAZING"



(HERE'S THE BOOK WITH THE FLOWER MY HUSBAND BROUGHT HOME ONE WEEKDAY EVENING)


I went over page 24 and am really blessed and encouraged by it.
It says:

"You are a custom design, you are tailor made. God prescribed your birth. Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.

The longings of your heart, then, are not incidental, they are critical messages. The desires of your heart should not be ignored, they are to be consulted.As the wind turns the weather vane, so God uses your passion to turn your life.

God is too gracious to ask you to do something you hate"

WOW!! It appeared so tender to my heart. Thank God for the encouragement you bring to my heart and soul each and everyday.

In His Grace,

Bloggy Rose Award

Thank you so much Sunny!for giving me this sweet rose bloggy award http://jesusrulzme.blogspot.com/

I would like to pass this award to Rachel of http://mysoulfulthoughts.blogspot.com

Praise you God, for wonderfully making this day!!

Husband and I got up very early this morning around 430am.

We need to be at the office early. I have to finish some analytical reports, and he on the other hand have training at Teatro Lakbay.

He got up earlier than our alarm at 430am. Wheew, time flies so fast!!

I took a bath while he's doing some stuff in the living room, when i was done, I had my morning exercise while he did some gardening tasks.

He bought our fave pandesal for breakfast while I prepare our milk and he took his bath.There you go, it's already past 6am and early past 7am when we were done. We had fun maybe catching up in conversation and we got to dance to a classic Christmas Song.

Beautiful morning. It's really good to wake up early.

We headed separate ways. I was so encouraged and happy when the van driver took a different route instead of passing at the heavy traffic in Barangka Marikina, he heads to San Roque instead, and before I knew it we were already at Industrial Valley heading our way to Edsa Santolan.

Before I got to witness the beautiful creation made by an AWESOME GOD!! Amazing. When the van was passing the road near the river at Riverbanks Area...it was so beautiful to witness and experience the trees, river, and sightseeing of the city from a Hilly point of view from Marikina.

But before I went to van terminal, I was at the jeepney from Parang Marikina passing NGI to Molave and finally in Bayan Marikina, where I was so blessed to experience and feel the fresh and cold breeze of the wind!!

All I could utter to God is this " Praise you Lord, I praise you!! Beautiful Beautiful!! I praise you! If only I can shout here...hahahaha..

That was my gracious morning moments with the one and only Gracious God..

In His Grace,
