Trusting

"The heart of her husband trusts in her,and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Proverbs 31.11-12

The first characteristic we see is that he trusts her. It isn't a head knowledge believing that she is capable, but it comes from his heart. He knows that he can trust her. He doesn't have to worry about anything in the home, in her work, or in their marriage. She does him good; not harm or evil, but good.

A husband must trust his wife. He must believe her, and believe in her. He must know that she is capable of incredible things. My wife and I were at a Tim Hawkins performance a few months ago and he was talking about how incredible his wife was. He made the joke, "If she ever leaves me, I'm going with her."

The wife of noble character works hard, and does so much, both in and out of the home. Her husband trusts her. He knows she is faithful to him, and he knows she is able to do whatever she sets her mind to. He trusts her, and therefore supports her. He wants her to do well and succeed in whatever she does. And when that happens he has no lack of gain. The love and respect he has from his wife grows, their marriage and life together is strengthened.

The wife of noble character, must have a husband who trusts her, that is his first characteristic, trust.

Peace be with you
