A Christian man can gain many blessings in his life if he trusts in the
LORD. The one most esteemed earthly treasure a man can obtain is
a good wife. (Proverbs 12:4) "An excellent wife is the crown of her
husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones."
Think about all the things we strive to obtain in our lives, but a good
woman is our crowning reward from the LORD. All other things are
just material things of this world, not one of which can ever gain you
a crown in Heaven or even on earth.
A good wife is a blessing beyond all value, a gift from God. (Proverbs
31:10-11) "Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above
rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no
lack of gain." Does this sound like your wife? . Unfortunately, most
husbands today would say their wife does not measure up to this
verse.
There are many reasons why you are not being blessed in your
marriage with your wife. First, and most important of all; Are you a
good spiritual leader in your home? Do you put the LORD above all
other things in your life. A you being a godly example in your own
walk with the LORD?
Priorities, priorities men!
Keep the LORD first, obey His word, and guess what, your wife will
follow your lead. How can we expect our wives to be our crowning
jewel and not just another thorn in our sides if we are not leading
them properly? We must have our priorities in order and do what
the LORD commands. (Ephesians 5:25-27) "Husbands, love your
wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by
the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not
having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy
and without blemish."Are you being a good spiritual leader to your
wife and washing her in the Word daily as our Lord calls us to do? It's
a great place to start, not only will this prepare you both to walk with
the LORD during the day, it will also help you guard your hearts
against the wiles of the devil. Second of all you must pray with your
wife. (Matthew 18:20) "For where two or three are gathered
together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." This will
strengthen your relationship not only with the LORD but also with
each other. Finally you must pray for your wife continually
throughout the day. Woman struggle with the flesh just as much as
men. It might not be the same types of struggles but they have
struggles none the less. Our continual prayer protects and
empowers them with the Holy Spirit.
As you begin to apply these commands to your marriage you will see
your marriage spiritually revived, setting up future blessings in life. A
good and strong marriage is the key to your happiness and favor
with the Lord. (Proverbs 18:22) "He who finds a wife finds a good
thing, and obtains favor from the LORD." Make her your crown and
not just a crown of thorns on your head. Treat your wife as the most
important person, and she will be your CROWN!!!! Start now and
treat her with love as Christ loves you, be the leader that makes her
a blessing and not rotten to your bones. Let us pray brothers:
