"A prudent man foresees evil, and hides himself; the simple pass on, and are punished." (Proverbs 27:12)
As you near the end of this challenge, take time to think about your husband's responses to the wickedness of the culture, the media, etc. Does your husband recognize and avoid evil? Does he regularly turn his back on pornography, sexual temptations, and the urge to lie and cheat?
This is a valuable character trait. Like Joseph in the Old Testament, who fled from the wicked advances of Potiphar's wife, this takes an understanding that these kinds of sins are first and foremost, sins against God (Genesis 39:9).
Praise your husband when he recognizes and turns his back on wickedness. If you can think of a circumstance where your husband stood for righteousness, remind him of that today--and express your gratitude.
Lord, again thank You for protecting my husband from the wickedness of the world and for giving him a way of escape when he is faced with temptations. Continue to keep us in the path of righteousness. In Jesus' name, Amen.
