Are you bringing your husband good?


Scripture:
Proverbs 31:12
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. - NIV
She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. - NASB
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. - KJV
She has done good things for him and not bad things all the days of her life. - Aramaic Bible
She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. - GWT
She will not hinder him but help him all her life. NLT

1 Kings 11:4
As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. - NIV

For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. - NASB

In his old age, his wives tempted him to follow other gods. He was no longer committed to the LORD his God as his father David had been. -GWT

Observation:
Gill's Exposition of the entire Bible - She will do him good, and not evil,.... Or, repay good unto him, give him thanks for all the good things bestowed by him on her; will seek his interest, and promote his honour and glory to the uttermost; all the good works she does, which she is qualified for, and ready to perform, are all done in his name and strength, and with a view to his glory; nor will she do any evil willingly and knowingly against him, against his truths and ordinances; or that is detrimental to his honour, and prejudicial to his interest.

Application:
As a wife, I should do my husband good in all that I do. In words, thoughts, and actions. Am I perfect in this? No. But that is my goal. Today I determine to do him good. I will not turn his heart to follow other gods, but influence him to serve God with all of his being.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to do my husband good and not harm all the days of my life. I want to encourage him in serving and following God. May all I think, say, and do bring him honor and glory. In Jesus name, amen.

Hi Friends, I just wanted to share that Courtney at www.womenlivingwell.org is having an ultimate blog bash. You can link-up with other bloggers for an awesome share time. There are numerous categories for bloggers to place their link-up. I am new to the world of blogging. I am having so much fun. I love studying God's Word and sharing what I have gleaned from my own study time. There have been numerous women in my life who have inspired me in my relationship with God. I hope I can do the same for others. I am not perfect. I am just a woman who wants to know God and serve Him to the best of my ability. I have my devotional time each day. It goes something like this ~ I start my coffee brewing, head to my computer and watch the day's video from Wendy Pope. Her ministry is Walking with Women Through the Word. Her website is www.wendypope.org . After watching the video, I read from the NLT Chronological Bible. I try to find one nugget from the day's reading that I can

Amy Deanne Scripture: Proverbs 31:15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. NIV She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls. NLT She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And portions to her maidens. NAS Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. NIV Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. NLT In the morning, O LORD, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you, and I wait. GWT Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. NIV Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. NLT In the morning, long before sun
