Title: The Good/Perfect Wife

Scriptures: Proverbs 31:14-15

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Proverbs 31:14-15 says...

14 She is like a ship from a faraway place.

    She brings home food from everywhere.

15 She wakes up early in the morning,

    cooks food for her family, and gives the servants their share.

This is still a continuation of what a good/perfect wife is.  Today, we're looking at verses 14-15 that pictures a good wife as someone who provide food for her family and take care of them including the servants.  It's funny how our culture label the men as the ones working and providing food on the table, while the women just wait and prepare the food once the man arrives.  But the Bible tells us that the perfect wife does not only wakes up early in the morning to cook food for her family but she also goes out and find food and bring it to them from everywhere.  This tells me of a woman who works with her hands and again very resourceful because she can find food from everywhere.  And the woman does not only takes care of her family but she evens take care of her servants.  If you ask me, looks like there's a lot of tasks a woman does, and you may ask, what about the woman?  Who will take care of her?  Well, one thing for sure, as the woman is defined by the Bible as a woman with multiple duties and responsibilities, her main purpose is to always do good for her husband and never cause him trouble.  But the man is commanded by God Himself, to love the wife as Jesus loves the church and Jesus died for us, so should a husband if required.  But today, we are talking about the good wife, let's renew our minds and understand the true definition of a real wife.

Happy Freeday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for giving me a true understanding of what a good wife should be.  Lord I want to be the good and perfect wife that is fit for You.  I know I cannot do it by myself.  I know I am not strong enough to make the change but with Your help Lord, I can be and I will.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
