Gift from God.
Finding a suitable mate, particularly a wife, brings God’s favor. My sister-in-law told me long before I met my husband, “You’ll make a good wife.”
I didn’t understand why she said that at the time. Proverbs 31:10-31 titled “The Wife of Noble Character,” hung framed beside my bed for years. I read the verses every morning and asked God to mold me into her.
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.” Prov. 31:10-11
The following 19 verses describe the characteristics of a wife of noble character. As I go about my days, rising early, working hard, and becoming a Godly wife to Ron, I think of different verses, praying them into our lives.
Read over the description of the wife of a noble character. Delight in God’s word and let it take root in your heart.
Lord, thank You for giving us scripture to guide and direct us. Help us become wives of noble character. Let husbands receive the Lord’s favor because of the wife they chose. Give us the tools to make our marriages honor You in all ways. IJNIP. Amen
