Wives, Take Your Place


 

DAILY VITAMIN

- Wives, Take Your Place

"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." (Proverbs 31:10)

The Bible defines the man as the head of the home just as Christ is the head of the church (Ephesians 5:23), and a lot of sermons have been made on this. But then what did it say about the woman? The wife is likened to wisdom. Scripture says he that finds  a [good] wife finds a good thing and obtains favour of the Lord (Proverbs 18:22).

Emphasis on good is to indicate the wife that is ready to take her place in the home. 

Scripture says the same of wisdom. It says he that finds her finds life, and obtains favour of the LORD (Proverbs 8:35). As wisdom, she is of more value than all the rubies on earth (compare with Proverbs 8:11).

So, as the husband is designed to be the strength of the home, the wife is designed to be the wisdom of the home; and what a unique kind of strength wisdom is. Thus, the name helpmeet. She assists when everything seems bleak. That's why they say her husband is favoured. Consider the virtuous wife in Proverbs 31:10-31: She makes her family renown. Her advice and works of wisdom bring praise to her home. 

Be that wife today--one of virtue and not contention. The Bible refers to her as the glory of her husband and home. Hence, take your place. Bake yourself in the anointing of God. Enough of the pettiness and busy-bodiness, be identified with good works, and it starts with reverence and devotion toward God. When this is achieved, all men shall praise you (v. 30-31).
