A Good Thing
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the
LORD.”
(Proverbs 18:22)
Today’s Morsel: The secrets of
success are a good wife and a steady job. At least that is what my wife
told me. (a little humor). Scripture states that he who so finds a wife finds a
good thing. What makes a wife. Well, Solomon’s mother lists certain attributes
of her in Proverbs 31. To me, a wife is one who is wise. She possesses
wisdom, knowledge, skills, and abilities that will enhance her home and make
her husband known in the gates when he sits with others. She opens her
mouth in wisdom and her words show forth the knowledge of God. She has
strong integrity and will not compromise that integrity for personal gain,
profit, or pleasure. Honesty is her watchword. She is faithful to
her God, husband, family, duties, herself, and to her church. She can be
counted on when needed. She has endurance. She has both physical
and mental stamina to keep going in times of hardship, persecution, and assault
upon herself, her household, and her beliefs. She is a woman whose
children arise and call her blessed, and her husband does, too. “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down
with her hands.”
(Proverbs 14:1) By her prudent and
industrious management, she increases property in the family, furniture in the
house, and food and raiment for her household. This is the true building
of a house. The thriftless wife acts differently, and the opposite is the
result. Household furniture, far from being increased, is dilapidated; and her
household is ill-fed, ill-clothed, and worse educated. Every born-again
woman of God ought to be a good thing. I have found a good thing.
And I thank God for her.
Sing: I am blessed! I am
blessed! Every day that I live, I am blessed. When I wake up in the
morning, till I lay my head to rest, I am blessed, I am blessed.
Thought For Today: Every
born-again woman of God ought to be a good thing.
Great teaching with a touch of humor. 👍❤
