Second best decision I made was to marry Kim, first was trusting Jesus as Lord and Savior.
She.. works with her (willing) hands in delight.
PROVERBS 31:13 NASB
She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
PROVERBS 31:26 NASB
Found what I thought was a random church in Washington DC, on mother's day with my mom. She heard about the church from a friend. Then after awesome worship, the pastor preaching is David Platte. My mom didn't know who he is. He wrote the book Radical. Wowza. Super fun!
Here's notes from his sermon:
God's grace covers your past, relationship and redemption (Romans 8:1)
Empowers your present, guarantees your future
Men's work, Eph 5:25-28
- lay down my life, so she'll grow in Christ-likeness, experience all God has defined for her.
Proverbs is for single men. Seek out a Godly, Christ-like wife. Lots of examples of not Christ like woman in Proverbs.
Don't be tempted by confusion in our culture.
Character traits to promote in woman
- acrostic A-Z,
W - wise (Proverbs 1:7,13:13-15,31:26)
O - honorably oversees her home (Proverbs 31:11, he trust his wife)
M - mighty (Proverbs 31:17,25,13,19,27,14,16,24) uses time, sharp mind, and strong body.
A - Attractive in all the right ways.i.e., Wise and kind words. She's delightful to her husband (Proverbs 18 he delights in his wife)
N - neighbor to the needy, gives generously and serves sacrificialy. Deny yourself, give your life for others. Not "run over" but wise. (Proverbs
I'm so grateful I see all these in Kim, what an answer to prayer. So many years later, God is faithful to answer prayer according to his will. How great to discover all he has in store for us. The best. Amen.
