Being Trustworthy in Doing Him Good and Not Evil

I feel "stuck" on that first attribute still: trustworthiness. Especially as it relates to me only building up my husband and not tearing him down.

Today, a different point stands out starkly to me:

"She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." (Proverbs 31:12)

Not just sometimes.

Not just when he's cooperating, or when she feels like it.

Not even just when it's easy.

But when he is frustrating,

or infuriating,

or seems to just make everything more difficult or when he is just being a man (ugh).

But even when he seems unlovable, she does him good and not evil -- in her thoughts and actions.

Definitely easier said than done, is what I'm personally learning hardcore since making that commitment earlier this week.

But that's what the Devil does: as soon as you get in cahoots with God and/or make a commitment before Him, the Devil will do anything he can to dissuade you. He doesn't want you (me) stronger and growing in power in the Lord.

I feel that prayer may help on this battle ground.

Lord,
Please help me to stay steadfast in my commitment to be always honoring to my husband in every area -- my mind, my body, my thoughts, my actions -- with or apart from him.
Bring it continually to the forefront of my mind and help me to be strong against my contrasting emotions.
Grow me in this area, Lord; grow me in my marriage. I know I cannot do this in my own strength and knowledge. Teach me daily.
