God's Will For Every Wife/Woman - Week 1

The Excellent Wife- Chapter 1: Who can find?

 God’s Will for Every Wife

God’s will for every Christian woman is that her most important ministry be to her husband (Genesis 2:18) After a wife’s own personal relationship with Jesus, nothing else should have greater priority. Her husband should be the primary benefactor of his wife’s time and energy, not the recipient of what may be left over at the end of the day.

An Excellent wife, who can find her? For her worth is far above jewels.

These are traits not daily tasks, of the Excellent Wife. We can learn from her industry, integrity, resourcefulness, hard work, fear of God, respect for her husband, foresight, encouragement, care of others, concern for the poor, and wisdom in handling money because God has given us the power to do so.

His Divine power has granted us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through true

knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3　
　
God has called every Christian Woman to His Excellence!A wife’s responsibility is to learn to put her confidence in the faithfulness of God and His Word
-to do what He says.
We can become what He wants us to become if we do what He wants us to do. There is no other way!

Our one major problem is Sin....

Because God has supplied us with everything we need we are without excuse!

Do it with "the joy set before you" Hebrews 12:1-2
God has an eternal reward for us!

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8

If Jesus would have reacted selfish and not died on the cross we would have no Savior and No Hope!
　
　
Challenge:

Prayerfully consider one or two growth areas/challenges. Ask God to help you plan your day to accommodate these changes. Be sensitive to His voice throughout your day. Prioritize your time and tasks each day to allow for your own spiritual growth and your ministry to your husband.
Am I rare? Am I doing the good works that God Intended for me? Not worrying about or looking at what my husband/others are supposed to be doing.
My joy comes from my relationship with Christ not on what my husband/others are not doing.

This week we will be reading Chapters 3 and 4
A Wife's Understanding of Sin
A Wife's Understanding of Relationships





If we take our focus of Jesus and do things "our way" we will be miserable trying to fulfill our God-Intended role.Sin is wanting to do it our way rather than Gods way. Its presuming God will help us even when we are neglecting His Truth. Sin is thinking she can get by without God’s help.
The fruit of the spirit is self control, not other control. Galatians 5:23
