Good Things and Prudent Wives

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord.” Proverbs 19v14 (AMP)

“He who finds a [true] wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 18v22 (AMP)

“The man who finds a wife finds a good thing; she is a blessing to him from the Lord.” Proverbs 18v22 (TLB)

The other day, I got fresh insight into the verse which says “If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!” Matthew 7v11 (AMP). I had been short on cash and my Dad gave me some money. He didn’t begin to judge me or make me feel bad, but just met a need that he saw – without me asking. It made me think of our heavenly Father, that how much more would He do that for His children. And then I thought of marriage, an institution set up by God. God loves His sons and His daughters. He is therefore able to bless His sons with a prudent wife. Their fathers can give them wealth and riches, but only the Lord can give them a prudent wife. In the same vein, a wife is a good thing to be found, and shows that one has obtained the Lord’s favour. Thus God who gives good things to those who ask Him will want to ensure that both the men and women have good things. Are you waiting on the Lord for a blessed marriage? Let Him be the One to show you that prudent wife, to give you that good thing. Ladies, God is never late, and He has the best in store for you… if you would wait for Him.

Prayer

Father, we thank You because You are a good God and You give good things to Your children. We worship and honour You. We pray for as many as are waiting on You for their life partners, that You will divinely connect them in Jesus name, amen. We pray You would be the Builder and Keeper of all of our marriages in Jesus name, amen.
