It’s In The Word - Men Can Cook Allison A.
I hope you’re not surprised but in THE BOOK (THE BIBLE) Now this is not to bash our men but it is to show to both men and women when it comes to the household and household chores from God’s Word (which we say we believe) Genisis 24 tells us when Abraham sent his servant to acquire a wife for his son Isaac, the girls were out fetching the water and taking care of the cattle and the brother was doing the cleaning and in Genesis 27 we learn both Esau and Jacob could cook. The Father loved Esau cooking and when Esau came from the field Jacob had made some lentil soup.
And then we see JESUS HIMSELF COOKED!! John 21:9 didn’t say he prayed and fish appeared ! He had a fire, fish and bread .No tricks just plain old cooking. Our parents and spouses (especially in Christian homes) love to use men being the head of the home to mean, they make the rules but The Bible says Christ is the head of the home and the man is the head of the woman. So if Christ is the head of us all we need to follow His lead, he cooked, he led by example, he gave himself for us and that’s how you should lead being the head. Then we love to talk about The Proverbs 31 woman and we stress on her rising up early, cooking for her maids, doing all the traveling, busy, busy busy, did we stop to think, she was able to do all of these things because her husband was a great provider, she could cook for her maids I’m sure sometimes, not when she’s off traveling because she had so many maids to help out with everything else She wasn’t bionic woman. So if you can’t provide all that the Proverbs 31 woman had through her husband’s provision, please help your wife with the chores and women don’t beat yourself up because you can’t accomplish all she did. Do the best with what you have. And let all husbands, wives assist and help each other and our children will see a great relationship, a balanced relationship, a Godly relationship and not a lopsided relationship and they will follow us as we follow Christ.
