A Treasure Worth Treasuring (4 of 5)
Ernest L. Easley
Proverbs 31.10-31
We’re continuing our summer series this morning on the home under the heading: There’s No Place Like Home. After you decide to follow Jesus... the next most important decision you’ll make in life is who you will marry.
I heard about a married man who said to his single friend, “A man is not complete until he marries, after that, he is finished.” But seriously... to a large degree... you’re success in life is greatly influenced by whom you choose for a mate.
Proverbs 12.4, “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.” The headdress of a happy husband is an excellent wife!
Proverbs 18.22, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.”
Proverbs 19.14, “Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.”
And then look to Proverbs 31.10, “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.” Do you see the word “virtuous?” It comes from a Hebrew word that means strength... power... might... able. It speaks of moral character! A woman of strength!
It was used in the Old Testament day to describe the force of an army. No wonder the writer of Proverbs 31 asks, “Who can find a virtuous woman? Well... the reason a lot of men never find a woman like that is because their not searching for a woman like that! Others can’t find a virtuous woman because their looking in the wrong places! Their not found in the bars and the strip joints... their found in the house of God with the people of God!
Beginning in Proverbs 31.10 we find the picture of an ideal woman! The portrait of a perfect wife! Here is the kind of woman that a Christian man can’t resist!
Now ladies... as you look at these verses this morning... you’re going to feel like those two cows when they were out in the pasture and they a saw a ...
