3. PROVERBS.

THE RUBY LADY.

Here they are … Mrs,

FAR ABOVE RUBIES.

“THE GOOD WIFE!” When I was married, now thirty-five years ago! I used to avoid this passage because I thought I could never measure up to the ideal woman described in Proverbs 31.

Today as look back now realise that the husband in Proverbs was showing joy and respect for the “wife and mother of his children he had chosen.”

Proverbs as a book has high praise for a good wife.

See chapter 14:1

“A successful match receives the favour of the Lord… Because the match is God’s choice, His gift.

Are you panicking? “Oh No! I’ve married the wrong man!”

No, not necessarily. It is never too late. The Apostle Paul encourages you that your godly behaviour can lead your husband over to Christ, or vice versa, the husband to his wife.

Read, 1 Corinthians chapter 7:10-16.

Though Mrs Far-Above-Rubies was an exceptional wife. We are told not to copy her, but to copy CHRIST!

You are placed in the marriage to love your husband ‘to’ the LORD.

God will give you His Supernatural Love for him if you ask for it.

It may also mean that You may need to forgive your partner before God’s love begins to flow in and through your heart. Maybe you need to repent for your faults and failures.

“IS ANYTHING TO HARD FOR THE LORD ?”

She IS VALUABLE.

“Her price is far above rubies.” She is worth more than all this world could offer!

SHE IS PRAISEWORTHY “Her children rise and call her blessed.”

HER PRE-EMINENCE.. “You excel them all.”

HER SECRET…”A Woman that fears the Lord.” So we can see this Lady is a Nice person, Praiseworthy, Prudent (avoiding rashness) and Upright…

Read verses 13-25 in this 30th chapter.

A GOOD WIFE is good to her husband and keeps his confidence.

She aids his Prosperity. Read verses 12-24.

SHE IS A GOOD MOTHER.

She clothes her family wisely. They never go hungry because she shops sensibly. And will choose to travel, to purchase nutritious food.

Read verses. 21, 15, 27, v.14 and 18.

SHE IS A GOOD NEIGHBOUR.

She helps the poor and uplifts the needy. Her words are gracious. She loves people. She is not cutting, critical or cursing. She has a kind word for everyone.

Read verse 20 and verse 26. You can be this woman if you are wholly surrendered to the Spirit of God that He may live His Life in and through you.

Bless you, as you do!!
