The wife I'm called to be




Proverbs 31:10-12  "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.  She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."

As a wife, I am my husband's helpmate.  Do I encourage him?  Do I honor him with my attitude and actions?  Do I pray for him diligently?  Do I keep myself only for him?  Do I choose grace and love rather than anger and bitterness?  Do I serve him with a sacrificial heart and with thanksgiving?

I want to be the wife that God has ordained me to be.  I want to be an example for my boys of the kind of wife they should desire.

"Father, Thank you for the guidelines you have laid out for me so that I may know what a wife of noble character looks like.  Help me to serve my husband diligently in every way you call me to.  Thank you for giving me a husband who loves you more than me and seeks your will.  Thank you for the amazing dad that he is to our children.  Through my husband you have given me a gift.  I praise you Father God.  Please give me wisdom to be the wife you created me to be."
