A Wise woman vs. A Foolish woman

#wifeywednesday

Proverbs 14:1

"The wise woman builds her house,
but with her own hands the foolish one tears her down."

The fact that this woman is called "wise" indicates that she fears and reverences the Lord. She conscientiously builds her house, making her entire household thrive, because she has learned that wisdom brings the happiness and prosperity she desires for her family. The wise woman cares for her home by making wise choices in her relationship with her husband(&children). She works on her marriage, knowing that intimacy does not happen naturally but must be developed. All building takes time, picturing brick set on brick until a sturdy safe home is constructed.

In Contrast, the foolish woman does not build. She tears down both her possessions and relationship. She destroys by her own efforts- with her hands, her tongue, her idleness, and her lack of interest.

A NOBLE Wife vs. A Disgraceful Wife

#wifeywednesday

Proverbs 12:4

“ A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown

But a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

A wife affects her husband. She either becomes a crown to him or brings him to ruin like a horrible disease that weakens the body. Noble means “Strength”. Noble is a reference of moral character. This wife possess “strong” character. She is a woman of ability and worth. “Crown” suggests that this wife of quality enables her husband to realize his potential. Because of her character and resourcefulness, her husband is greatly admired by others.

In Contrast is the woman who puts her husband to shame before the world. While the wife of quality helps her husband reach the fullness of his abilities, the shameful wife will drag her husband down all his days, and he will never command respect nor win influence in the community. To have such a wife is like enduring an infestation of maggots in the bones. It is a horrible irritant and a fatal disease.
