How Often Should Husbands Serve The Lord ?

It is good for husbands to regularly worship God. 

In 1 Samuel 1, we see a man named Elkanah who was a reverent man of God and also devout. Elkanah was a man who truly worshipped and loved God. We can see this from how he spoke to his wife, Hannah (1 Sam. 1:5,8). Elkanah showed true worship which is beyond only going to the temple on certain days.

As a husband, it is good that you regularly worship God. Now, this worship transcends beyond just praying every day or going to church on Sundays. It is the giving of your entire heart, soul and life to God (Rom. 12:1-2). This is not to say that the above are not good or are ruled out, but true worship starts from the heart and then permeates through to our actions.

When a husband regularly (this could mean daily, hourly, minutely or even at all times) worships God, his home will flourish and God will answer his prayers and that of his home, just like he did to Elkanah (1 Sam. 1:19-20). 

A husband that truly worships the Lord regularly will have respect for his wife because His Master enjoins him to love his wife as He loved the church and gave himself for her (1 Sam. 1:23). This kind of husband will join hands with his wife and home to worship the Lord. This brings God honor and of course, God will bless such a home.

But this can only work when the husband sets His mind to truly love the Lord and worship Him regularly from the heart.
