A TRUE WIFE!

PROVERBS 18:22

"The man who finds  A TRUE WIFE , finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord."

Are you a married man?  Has your wife been true to you?  Are you two a team that works together in the Lord's righteousness?  Do you compliment each other in your beliefs and ideals? Is your wife your "best friend"?  If all this is true you have found a treasure and you will have found favor with the Lord.  The One Truth Today explains how important it is to be equally yoked and choose the right wife!  A wife who will remain true to you in your youth and in your old age. This kind of wife is more valuable than jewels, or gold or great wealth.  This wife is a treasure and you will receive favor from the Lord, so give Him thanks!

In this present society of our world, the emphasis on choosing a wife is wrong and and misleading.  It is not the outward beauty that a man should look for.  It is the inner being and core beliefs of the woman that you marry that will count the most.  Does she love God and put Him first in everything in her life?  Does she have a desire to learn the Word of God and then put it into action for herself and her family?  Is she a hearer of the Word, or a doer of the Word?  Does she recognize that the Lord is the head of her household and that her husband is placed by God to be the head over her.  She must respect and love her husband and children to be in God's will.  Will she teach her children the true values of the Christian life and discipline?

The world tells men to look for things that will change over time and the youthful beauty of today may fade and shrivel, but not the heart.  The wife of our youth is the one who will comfort us in our old age. If you are wise enough to look for and find a real treasure, it is the gift that keeps on giving up until the very end.  The Lord will surely look with favor upon your household and His blessings will be evident to everyone.  Do not forget to always thank God for His blessings to you, A TRUE WIFE!  Always reinforce how much she means to you and your family.  Never take for granted the gift of God.  Cherish your true wife.  Love your true wife as you love God!
