PursuingYHWH

The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
and he receives favor from the LORD.
Proverbs 18:22

We men often take having our wives for granted. Sure we get into scuffles and sometimes say something nice to them.

But do we really get down on our knees and thank God for blessing us with our wives?

For me, God has used my wife to build up my confidence, find comfort in emotional and sexual satisfaction, grow and birth our children and to be my best friend.

That is nothing short of amazing.

From all of this, God has used my wife to bring a stability in my life through this continual relationship.

God’s design is the best – it’s wonderful.

As Pastor Chuck Swindoll has said in past messages, “Isn’t it funny how much your wife sounds like the Holy Spirits voice?”

He isn’t saying your wife is the Holy Spirit – but that your wife’s opinion on something is often in sync with the Holy Spirit.

When I check an idea or run a plan by my wife, she brings up the important and often obvious challenges or subtle issues behind it.

Thank you Jesus for the wife you provided me. She is wonderful because she reflects you and your design.

Thank you Jesus for your favor upon me.

Help us Lord to treat our wives with love, respect, and kindness as long as we have them.

Help us to speak well of them to others when our wives are not around. Help us to honor them, protect them, care for them, and love them whole heartedly.

And selfishly Jesus, I ask that You stir in them a desire to be sexually intimate with us at least 2 times a week!

But as always Lord, let your perfect will be done!

Have a great Monday.

Your brother in Christ,
Dave
