There are many great men in the Bible. We learn about them, study them, and even try to emulate them. We look at the great things they have done and we marvel at their obedience to God. There are awesome accounts of their actions captured in Scripture.

Yes, there are great men in the Bible. However, there are also great men living and breathing today. You may be married to such a man. This is to take nothing away from the great men of old but rather to acknowledge the greatness in the man God has given you.

Your husband has great strengths. Sure, he has weaknesses too, but when viewed in the light of his strengths, you see who he is created to be.

A wife can become so familiar with her man that she fails to recognize the greatness that is within him. Take some time and think about who he really is, then answer the question, “Which mighty man of the Bible does your husband remind you of?”

Becoming an Ephesians 5 husband for your Proverbs 31 wife is not easy. But click here to learn how it can transform your marriage.

The list here is not all inclusive. If your mate reminds you of a Bible personality that isn’t listed, write it in the comments sections.

Abraham – full of faith, a servant of the Lord, a generous giver, a friend of God

Daniel – faithful, wholehearted in his commitments, a man of prayer, dream interpreter

Moses – persistent in the face of adversity, slow of speech, a delegator, a prophet, humble

David – a man after God’s heart, a mighty warrior, a true worshiper, a king, a man with a repentant heart

Paul – a rebel with a cause, not greedy, fearless, great integrity, a coach and trainer to others

There is so much more that could be said about each of these heroes. All had great strengths. Yet, if we shift our focus we could also point out their weakness. When we focus on their strengths we are able to see them in the light of their greatness.

We see them in the light of who God created them to be. It is the same with your husband. He has great strengths. Sure, he has some weaknesses too, but when viewed in the light of his strengths, you see who he is created to be.

So, with your focus on your husband’s strengths; which great man of the Bible does your husband remind you of?

(In no way does this mean to put up with abuse. An area of weakness does not equal abuse.)
