The Excellent Wife~By Martha Peace
This morning I decided to start reading "The Excellent Wife" again by Martha Peace~I have been struggling some and then realized I haven't been doing all that I can be doing for my husband ~I came to the realization that I haven't done what God has called me to do as his wife and made him first after God ~that as his wife I am supposed to minister to him and I never thought of it like that~so through the first chapter those are some things that I learned and repented of those things that I haven't been doing..One thing that really stuck out to me in the first chapter as well was that God has called the Christian Wife to His excellence and that any flower can bloom when it is tendered by God's hand. That really spoke to me because by God's hands he will make each and everyone of us beautiful all we have to do is be ready to follow what he has asked us to. I desire to be that excellent wife for my husband but, I know that only through God's help I can become an excellent wife in Him.
The qualities of an excellent wife are- Respectful to her husband
- of exceptional worth
- Good to her husband
- Generous
- Wise
- Worker with hands
- Not afraid
- Praised
- Careful
- Blessed by her Children
- Fears the Lord
- Kind
- Trusted
What a glorious reflection of God a Woman becomes as she develops her ministry as a Godly wife.
May God bless you and your desire to grow!~!! Rachelle, you are wise and a treasure to your family!

ReplyDeleteIt is a blessing to hear that you responded to the Holy Spirit in the sweet way that you did, being willing to hear Him, and repent of sin, and have a heart open and moving towards, and not away from, the Lord's drawing. I'll be praying for you--funny, I was just thinking this afternoon of reading The Excellent Wife, I have never gotten all the way through it:)
