Day 225 - A Crown to our Husband

Today's Reading: Provbers. 11-12 and Col. 3

Again, so much awesome wisdom in these chapters in Proverbs, and Colossians as well.

Here's some of the highlights:

• A wise person knows how to keep their mouth shut
• In many counselors there is safety
• A gracious woman does not lose her honor
• A giving person receives much more than he gives
• Those who win souls are wise
• The ROOT of the righteous shall not be moved - because our root is JESUS! (Prov. 12:3)
• The ROOT of the righteous yieldeth much fruit - because our root is JESUS! (Prov. 12:12)

This is so profound, because we would bear no fruit except for our ROOT, which is Jesus. "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." (John 15:4-5)



But here's my favorite: 

• A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband! (Prov. 12:4)

I think this is a beautiful illustration of what a godly woman should be to her earthly husband. But even beyond this, do we recognize the fact that we are Christ' bride, and when we are faithful, we are actually a CROWN to JESUS!

Listen to this corresponding Bible passage: "Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God..." (Isa. 62:3) Wow! Too beautiful for words...

I want to be a crown in the hand of my Lord! How about you?
