I may have mentioned before that this was a struggle for me...Being the woman of my husband's dreams. I've read many articles on being a better lover, sexier woman, trying to get a better figure...and the list goes on. Right? Don't we all wish to be better wives, better mothers, better people, or to become the ideal mate? In some way we wish to be better at something. As I read my devotional this morning...it encouraged me greatly. Instead of worrying of being a better anything for others...we need to focus on being better in God's eyes first. If we focus on God's standards for marriages, life, who we are... everything else will fall in to place. And when we do this we can also gain many blessings. It says in, Proverbs 12:4, "an excellent wife is the crown of her husband." That passage was perfect for me! (and for all women) Another great verse showing our impact on our homes is: Psalm 128:3, "your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table." God shows us how wonderful we are as women in all aspects. Being a content women, wife, and/or mother in God bears great fruits of love, joy, and faithfulness.
Lord, thank You for Your encouraging words and teachings. You have entrusted me with a great duty of being an important role in my family's lives. May You help me to be the fruitful vine that brings blessings in all my household. Thank You for reminding me to put You first in all things. Amen
