“House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.” (Prov 19:14 ESV)In my Bible reading this morning, there are many things that I could have written on, as there were many thoughts that the Lord gave me.
In my particular schedule, the last thing that I read is in Proverbs. When I came to this verse, I knew that the thing that I wanted to write about was my wife (and your mother). She is a "thing" “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.” (Prov 18:22 ) :)
Your father can give you an inheritance, but he can't give you a wife. If he did, she would be your sister, and who wants to be married to their sister? :)
My wife is truly described in this verse. It is very hard for me to believe that we will soon be married for 28 years! I am sure that I know here better than anyone else in the world. And I know that this verse really describes her! She is from the Lord to me, and she is prudent.
Consider some of the different shades of meaning to this word "prudent"
- Circumspect hence intelligent
- Expert
- skillful
- worthy to teach
- understanding
- a wise guide
I love you Holly!
