Are You A Good Thing?

In the book of Proverbs, it says that whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour of the Lord.

I find as I read the scriptures, that the calling of being a wife is always held in esteem- and here we find a wife being called good and that her husband is actually blessed and obtains the Lord's favour by finding her.

It never ceases to thrill me, being a wife. I love having a husband to look after and a home to keep, I cannot tell you how lonely and lost I felt in the four years between my sad divorce and subsequent remarriage. I would cry to the LORD and pray that He would bless me with a loving husband.

When finally He did bless me with Chris, I was delighted to return to wifely things. I learnt how wonderful it is to be married to someone who treated me as he himself would like to be treated. So I believe, whoever finds a husband finds a good thing, too- and obtains favour of the Lord.

To be a good thing that blesses your husband means in this context, to be a godly, loving wife. Someone whom your husband can trust implicitly with his inner secrets, doubts and ideas and dreams- to the keeping of the home, the help with budgeting and the companionship. But most importantly with the upbringing of his children.

Any woman can be a wife- it takes a woman who sees the beauty of that calling to be a good one. If she is- she has God's promise that her husband will be blessed and will obtain favour of the LORD.

" Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord." Proverbs 18:22
