A MODEL WIFE

 

 

When i meditated again on Proverbs 31:10-31, i saw a lot of qualities that a wife should have. 

 

These are the qualities I've learned from those passages:

 

SHE IS PRECIOUS

           verse 10: 
         It is hard to find a good wife, 
         because she is worth more than rubies.


SHE IS TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE

         verse 11:
         Her husband trusts her completely.
         With her, he has everything he needs.


SHE ALWAYS DOES GOOD TO HER HUSBAND
       
           verse 12:
         She does him good and not harm
         for as long as she lives.


SHE IS RESOURCEFUL

         verse 13:
         She looks for wool and flax
         and likes to work with her hands.


SHE  IS INDEPENDENT AND A GOOD PROVIDER

        verse 14:
         She is like a trader's ship,
        bringing food from far away.


 SHE HAS A SERVANT'S HEART 

        verse 15:         
        She gets up while it is still dark
        and prepares food for her family
        and feeds her servant girls.


SHE IS A GOOD ENTREPRENEUR/ WISE IN SPENDING MONEY

       verse 16:
        She inspects a field and buys it.
       With money she earned, she plants a vineyard.


SHE IS ENERGETIC AND FULL OF STRENGTH

        verse 17:
        She does her work with energy,
        and her arms are strong.


SHE IS EXCELLENT AND HARDWORKING 

        verse 18:
        She knows that what she makes is good.
        Her lamp burns late into the night.


SHE IS PRACTICAL

       verse 19:
         She makes thread with her hands
       and weaves her own cloth.


SHE IS GENEROUS AND KIND

       verse 20:
       She welcomes the poor
       and helps the needy.


SHE TAKES CARE OF HER FAMILY WELL

       verse 21:
         She does not worry about her family when it snows,
       because they all have fine clothes to keep them warm.


SHE IS A "FASHIONISTA"

       verse 22:
       She makes coverings for herself;
       her clothes are made of linen and other expensive material.


HER HUSBAND IS A GOOD MATCH FOR HER

       verse 23:
       Her husband is known at the city meetings,
       where he makes decisions as one of the leaders of the land.


 SHE KNOWS HOW TO EARN ADDITIONAL INCOME

       verse 24:
       She makes linen clothes and sells them
       and provides belts to the merchants.


SHE IS RESPECTABLE AND JOYFUL

        verse 25:
        She is strong and is respected by the people.
        She looks forward to the future with joy.


SHE IS WISE AND A GOOD EXAMPLE

        verse 28:
        She speaks wise words
        and teaches others to be kind.


SHE KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE HER TIME PROPERLY

       verse 29:
       She watches over her family
       and never wastes her time.


SHE IS HIGHLY HONORED BY HER HUSBAND AND KIDS

        verse 30:
        Her children speak well of her.
        Her husband also praises her,


SHE IS THE BEST

        verse 31:
        saying, "There are many fine women,
        but you are better than all of them."


SHE IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT

        verse 30:
        Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you,
        but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised.


SHE DESERVES THE BEST

       verse 31:
       Give her the reward she has earned;
       she should be praised in public for what she has done.


But i believe that there are still a lot of things you and i would see as we meditate on them again and again. May these passages be your inspiration as you fulfill your role as a wife.

A Practical Advice In Searching For A Partner In Life

I read this from a broadsheet newspaper and there's some truth about this advice:

"The problem with most people is that,
they keep looking, searching endlessly for the right partner. 
But most of the time, that person is right in front of them. 
But they hardly notice this person 
because they're always searching for someone better. 
So they waste a lot of time and effort in this crazy pursuit  
and eventually, they would realize, they've run out of choices 
or it's already too late. 
So, if you feel you're already with "the one", 
go for it."

The Words "I Do"

"Once a couple says, "i do"- 
once they come to that point of initial surrender, 
they begin a lifetime process of keeping those vows, 
everyday, for the rest of their lives. 
After the candles are blown out,
the rice is thrown, 
and the rented tuxes are returned,
they must begin
to live out 
the implications of those vows
in the nitty-gritty context of real life- 
for better or for worse."

If A Man Really Loves A Woman...


If a man really loves a woman, he is willing to wait no matter how long it would take.

*****

"So Jacob worked for Laban seven years so he could marry Rachel. But they seemed like just a few days to him because he loved Rachel very much."

Genesis 29:20 New Century Version
