There Are Many

Virtuous And Capable Women In The World,

But You Surpass Them All!

Scripture

Proverbs 31

10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
    She is more precious than rubies.

11 Her husband can trust her,
    and she will greatly enrich his life.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
    all the days of her life.

13 She finds wool and flax
    and busily spins it.

14 She is like a merchant’s ship,
    bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
    and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.

16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it;
    with her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She is energetic and strong,
    a hard worker.

18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable;
    her lamp burns late into the night.

19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,
    her fingers twisting fiber.
20 She extends a helping hand to the poor
    and opens her arms to the needy.

21 She has no fear of winter for her household,
    for everyone has warm clothes.

22 She makes her own bedspreads.
    She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.

23 Her husband is well known at the city gates,
    where he sits with the other civic leaders.

24 She makes belted linen garments
    and sashes to sell to the merchants.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity,
    and she laughs without fear of the future.

26 When she speaks, her words are wise,
    and she gives instructions with kindness.

27 She carefully watches everything in her household
    and suffers nothing from laziness.

28 Her children stand and bless her.
    Her husband praises her:

29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
    but you surpass them all!”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.

31 Reward her for all she has done.
    Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Observation

Who would have ever dreamed that as a 17 year old that God would bring into my life the best woman in the world! That's right I've got the best!

God brought Kathy into my life when we were both 17 years old and when we were in our senior year at Hillsborough High School. We got engaged on graduation day and we were married a few months later on November 1^st.

Tomorrow we celebrate our 51^st anniversary!

I agree with Solomon when he said, “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you (Kathy) surpass them all!”

Application

Kathy is a virtuous and capable wife! She is more precious than rubies. I can trust her, and she has greatly enriched my life. She has brought me good, not harm, all the days of her life. (Proverbs 31:10-12 Personalized)

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You, thank You, thank You, for bringing Kathy into my life. She is the very best gift that You could have ever given me. You are so good! I pray for Kathy today. May Your face shine brightly on her. Give her strength. Continue to give her good health. Continue to use her in the lives of so many other women in our church and community.

I pray for the husbands and wives that might happen to read this blog today. Bless them, Lord. Help them to work hard at having the very best relationship and the very best marriage. Smile on them, Lord, the same way that You have smiled on us!
