The Excellent Wife~My Thoughts Day 2

Hi Friends
Well, today I was on the second chapter of "The Excellent Wife" I am going to try and post my thoughts each day on what the Lord is teaching me..I didn't get to read the complete chapter due to things happening in the house but a couple things that really spoke to me is learning that God is Purposefully working in my (your)life.
God promises to use all of our life experiences, including any evil that has been used against us, for your good..
One Example of good that comes from adversity is changes in your character as you become more like the Lord Jesus Christ.
Another Example of good that comes from Adversity is that God is tremendously honored (glorified) if you respond biblically. God promises to use all things for your good if you love God. You love God by being an obedient Christian. (John 14:15)

So, this really touched my life today~I went through quite a bit of abuse as a child and this was like God showing me that all of that stuff I went through God can use that for his glory~I know he can do this and I know dear sisters that he can do this for you too..He cares about each and everyone of us and loves you so much!
Keep on Keeping on even when you don't feel like you can go on. Jesus is there for you and when you don't have enough Faith ~He has the Faith~When you don't have enough Strength~He has the strength~Lean on Him dear sisters..
I love ya

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.
