An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

An Excellent Wife is the Crown of Her Husband!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know an excellent wife is the crown of her husband. In Jesus’ name, amen.

My wife and I recently celebrated our thirty-second wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that so much time has passed. When we were out to dinner on our special date night, we made a list of some the highlights we experienced during our years of marriage.

Like Proverbs 12:4 (ESV) says,

“An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.”

We had a long list of things to be thankful for. My wife has been and remains an excellent wife. I have been truly blessed by our relationship/ She is my crown.

Are you equally blessed? Celebrate your relationship, and make the precious moments count.

Whoever Brings Blessing Will Be Enriched!

Whoever Brings Blessing Will Be Enriched!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who bring blessing. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Proverbs 11:25 (ESV) is about how God takes care of his own.

”Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.”

It is time to take a fresh look at God’s message in Proverbs. It seems God will take care of those who bring blessing. He will also refresh those who refresh others. Bring blessing and be one who offers water to those who are thirsty. Look for opportunity to bless others and take care of their needs.

Give Freely!

Give Freely!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who give freely. In Jesus’ name, amen.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV) says, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Proverbs 11:24 (ESV) is also about giving.

“One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.”

Do you give generously? Are you stingy? God’s word defines the person who gives and the one who withholds. Be open to giving above and beyond what you are used to. Make sure to do so without reservation. God will know your heart.

When Pride Comes, then Comes Disgrace!

When Pride Comes, then Comes Disgrace!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know when pride comes, then comes disgrace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Pride can be person’s downfall. How serious is it? Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) is quoting Jesus.

“And he said, “’What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.’”

Proverbs 11:2 (ESV) contrasts pride with humility.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.”

If you have a problem with pride, it is time to change. Reject prideful thoughts, and humble yourself in the face of the Lord.

Accurate Weights and Measures!

Accurate Weights and Measures!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who use accurate weights and measures. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Fair trade is based on trust.

Exchanging by weight with balanced scales can be fair and honest. However, in ancient and modern times, some people have been known to cheat using scales that were out of balance.

The first part of Proverbs 11:1 (ESV) is about people who cheat with weights and measures.

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
but a just weight is his delight.”

People who hear this proverb will immediately know if they are guilty of using a false balance or using just weights.

How about you? Are you trustworthy when it comes to fair exchanges?

Whoever Walks in Integrity!

Whoever Walks in Integrity!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who walk in integrity. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Synonyms for the word “integrity” include honest, purity, rectitude, and virtue.

Proverbs 10:6-9 (ESV) is a section of contrasts between the righteous and those who are not.

“Blessings are on the head of the righteous,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence,
The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
The wise of heart will receive commandments,
but a babbling fool will come to ruin.
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”


There is a clear distinction within each of these verses. Will you live as a person of integrity or not? If not, it is not to late to reverse course.
