Day Three: Report

"Request his opinion about something you might not usually request his opinion about. Thank him for his opinion and do not criticize it at all."

This one ended up being very difficult. I asked him about something, not considering it to be my "daily activity," and after we were done discussing, I thought, oh hey-- I just did my day three "thing." Boy, that sucked.

Difficult-- I agreed, but disagreed, because it had to do with a friend of mine. But Gabe's answer was absolutely no, even if it is your friend. I knew what I had to do, but that doesn't necessarily stop the enemy from introducing ideas and suggestions into my head, like "He'll never know." or "He doesn't really understand your perspective."

Thank you Lord for the knowledge and wisdom You had already placed in my life-- without the Help Meet book experience I had, I probably would have circumvented my husband. I would have said "I am right anyway, so I will just do it my way." But I know that I have to submit my heart first and foremost, no matter the circumstances. And once I said "NO" to the enemy, the naughty thoughts stopped.

Thank you Lord, for the power You give us in the name of Yeshua to "go and sin no more!"
