Good Morning Friends,
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has
earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” (Proverbs 31:30-31)
What characteristics make a great wife?
King Lemuel provides a whole list of them in
Proverbs 31:
She’s a great
shopper, that is, she knows how to get the most out of her money. (Prov. 31:13)
She works hard to
provide for her family. (Prov. 31:15)
She’s generous with
anyone in need. (Prov. 31:20)
She’s ready for any
emergency. (Prov. 31:21)
She has good taste
in the way she decorates her home and in what she wears. (Prov. 31:22)
She makes her
husband look good. (Prov. 31:23)
She is strong and
dignified and not afraid of the future. (Prov. 31:25)
Those who find such a woman are very blessed.
The world has no idea what makes a wife great.
Charm and beauty are the characteristics that receive the most applause from
the world. But those characteristics are far from the most important. They
aren’t anywhere near the top of the list.
Knowing and respecting the Lord is the most
important characteristic of all. Find a woman with that characteristic and you
will have found a great wife.
If that’s the kind of wife you already have,
then thank God for her ... and tell her you thanked Him!
If you’re a wife, make your spiritual life
the priority. If your husband is smart, he’ll thank God for it!
His, by Grace,
Steve
