God’s Plan for a Wife by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 09/20/11

“My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Did you know that the Bible has a lot to say about the kind of wife God wants you to be?

“Proverbs 31:11—Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.”

Nancy: Can your husband trust you to be morally faithful?

“Proverbs 31:12—She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

Nancy: Does your husband know that you’re committed to him no matter what?

“As the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything—Ephesians 5:24.”

Nancy: Are you submissive in your actions, as well as your attitudes?

Developing a portrait of biblical womanhood is a lifelong process. But thankfully, the Word of God has all we need to help us become the women that God created us to be.
