House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. Prov 19:14
Far too often we hear of instances where siblings bicker about possessions after their father passes away. Something has gone terribly wrong. After a man has lived his entire life, the worst comes forth from those who should have loved him the most. Now there is nothing wrong with leaving behind riches to your children. That is a good biblical concept. But sadly with man it often brings strife.
An inheritance is the sum of all a father has accomplished to leave behind to his loved ones. Hopefully there will be many memories of his love, care, and wisdom too. But things are very different with our LORD. He loves us too much to waste time with frivolous things of this world. This is not an inheritance that will decay or be devoured by moths. It is eternal. He blesses us with good and perfect gifts. He knows what is best for us even when we don't. He gives us a prudent wife. She has strength and wisdom and integrity in all she does. She is completely trustworthy as a companion and confidant.
Thank you Lord for a prudent wife. I can trust you completely because you have given something truly amazing in my wife.
