An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
July 31
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYFavour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. (Proverbs 31:30)
What is the most desirable characteristic in a wife? Favor? Beauty? No. The most desirable characteristic is her fear (respect) of the Lord. Hollywood certainly projects a different image! Yet the appalling divorce rates and deteriorating families of its celebrities reflect their misleading ideas and unbiblical standards of marriage! The Biblical standard for a wife is outlined in Proverbs 31. If a young man seeking a wife would list his priorities according to this chapter, his marriage would be more successful. If a young woman seeking a husband would direct her life according to this chapter, she would find the right husband and be a real blessing to her home. When we live according to godly precepts we will be truly blessed! ~~
