東方Bible Insights 2 (Proverbs 31)

All of us want the Proverbs 31 wife in the bible, but how many of us are Proverbs 31 husband?

Ves 11: Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
  • Do our daily conversations give our wives confidence? Or we put them down often? Do we give the usual "hm.hm.hm" to all their questions?
  • Do you plan ahead of time with your wife what is happening the next week, month.... and the goals u have for the family and kids?
  • Do our wives have a great sense of security from us?

Ves16-22 she considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard....

  • Unless my wife buys toto and strike it, I think it is hard for her to consider a condo, buys it and sell it for a good profit.
  • On the other hand, do I make sure my wife is financially ok?
  • I realised women BUY a lot of things whereas men buy only a few things. Wives buy a lot of things for the need of the family and the kids, most of the time cheap. (That's why they shop a lot, it's call research!)
  • Husband buys a few things. Mainly for himself (but he always says for investment and future) and most of the time expensive stuff!
  • Husband do we care for them financially? Making sure they have more than making by.

Too much things to write (men get a job, not treating her as servant, emotional connection, kids respect her as husband does not put her down, Husband as a leader "elder") but I wont bored you all further. Last but not least,

Ves28: Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."

  • He is positive about his wife, say positive things about her and to her, note, not just during anniversaries and birthdays. (Assuming you do that during those days.)
  • Husbands, love you wives, say something positive everyday. I need to repent also: Today Mel is at home with Kayzia (fever), she asked what I want to eat for dinner as she is cooking. I said "everything u cook is special". She was greatly encouraged.

Brothers, let be Proverbs 31 husband.
