“She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.” Proverbs 31:12

 

How often do you encourage and comfort your husband?  As you continue on this Proverbs journey, be mindful about the kind of words that come from your mouth.  Are they words of encouragement and uplifting or criticizing and nagging?   Look at your husband and see those wonderful traits that you love about him and tell him.  It will be a joy, not only for your husband, but for you also.  

Be your husband’s cheerleader.  Think about the words that come out of your mouth when you speak to him.  Are your encouraging or discouraging?

Things to think about:

- When was the last time you complimented your husband?

- When words come out of your mouth, are they words of praising or tearing down?

Proverbs 31:11

“The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of gain or need.” Proverbs 31:11

 

Her husband has much confidence and trust in her.  Trust is what keeps a marriage together.  Unfortunately, our society today lacks these qualities.  When we trust our husbands and they in turn trust us, it increases our confidence level.  He does not lack for things (or someone else).  She brings him security, peace and rest to his soul.

Things to think about:

- Does your husband confidently relies and trust you?  

- If not why?

- Read 2 Corinthians 3:18.  Read God’s word daily and pray for a transformation into being the kind of woman God intended for you to be.

Proverbs 31:10

"Who can find a virtuous woman?  For her price is far above rubies."  Proverbs 31:10

From the very start this woman is praised. She is valued and respected above anything else. She is capable and intelligent. Her husband values her and praises her because she praises him. She is a rare find and should be appreciated and respected. God makes it very clear how important our role as a woman can be.

Think of the Proverbs 31 woman as a role model. Think of her as a goal to strive for. A woman that God will help you strive to become if you trust Him and if you are willing to change.

Things to think about:

- How do you treat your husband?

- When words come out of your mouth, are they words of praising or tearing down?

- Would you say you are an encouragement or discouragement to others?

Take inventory on yourself and ask yourself these questions. Think about ways you can change your words to positive and encouraging words. Think of how you can be a blessing to those around you.
