Marriage the Wife of Great Worth

Marriage the Wife of Great Worth

 

 “Beauty” we can’t keep our eyes off of it.

It could be a sun set over the ocean, or

a flower, even shiny cars and artwork.

Type in the word “beauty” in a Google image

search and all the images will be women.

To a man, the most beautiful

thing God made is the woman.

One of the hardest things for a

 man is to not ogled at women.

For women they want to be beautiful.

Many spend lots of time and money to get

the shapes and shades that attract the looks.

Out of all the beauty pageants ever held there is

one woman who was more beautiful than them all. 

Eve, the mother of us all.

When God created woman,

He set the bar for beauty.

Like a flower, a woman’s body withers.

The outer beauty fades away.

This is why God turns our attention

to focus on the inner woman.

God gives us a description of

an inner beauty of a wife.

Qualities that never fade.

She is submissive to her husband not

controlling, domineering and demanding.

She is at peace when she is in conflict with her

husband because she trusts in God’s Word.

Her behavior is so pure and reverent it

brings her respect of her biblical views.

She has a gentle and quiet spirit.

She is a loving wife full of tenderness

and a deep sense of understanding.

All of this is obtained through

her great faith in Christ.

This is how God values a wife.

God calls this wife…

Great Worth. 

   

Scripture Reading

1 Peter 3:1-6 NIV  

 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
