I get out my Bible to begin reading, I think of the day...Today is the 31st. So if I start with reading the Proverb of the day..."Oh man, I wish I could be a wife again, those verses don't pertain to my life" As I continue turning the pages as I do every day, a thought popped into my head. I can either read this and become depressed/discouraged or I can allow God to teach and encourage me through His word.
So I read through Proverbs 31 and the Lord showed me a few thing...
Even though I can't be a wife right now, I am still a Mom and I could see it
as being a "Mom of Noble Character, or a Woman of Noble Character, or maybe I can still see it as being Wife of Noble Character too! YES!! That is it!!
You may be asking yourself wait what? I get the first two, but a wife? Your husband left you, how can that be? Well, let me tell you what the Lord spoke to my heart.
Christ is my perfect husband, and I as part of the body am His beautiful bride.
All the things in this scripture passage can be applied to being Christ's bride, and oh how much more amazing will it be to hear my perfect husband call me more precious than rubies, or to hear Him say I am a woman of virtue, and that He loves me, than it would be for any man here to say those things. I can strive to glorify Him in these things, to give Him honor and praise. I can trust Him in all things, but specifically that He has my best interest in mind and that He will provide and care for me and my children more so than any earthly man ever could. Thank you Lord for loving me and calling me yours...may I glorify you as I desire to be more like your son each day...I love you
