Blessing Your Husband: While Single

www.forteevents.com

I've been thinking lately, after reading Proverbs 31 over again. One question (from v12) really stands out in my mind: Is it really possible to be a blessing to a future husband...I haven't met yet? And even further, How can I start do this when I don't know what he'll be like...or even what I'll be like? What if he's not like I imagined him to be at all? Hmm..

---x---x---x---

I suppose these may not just be my own thoughts, as many other young women may ask the same questions from time to time. Nevertheless, I would like to endeavor to say that being a blessing to one's future husband is quite possible, quite important, and quite real. It doesn't really matter if we know who he is yet or not - God knows all of that, and He will reveal it in His perfect time.

If we go back to the actual verse in Proverbs 31:12, the Bible gives us a clear indication of what we ought to be doing: "She does him good and not evil, all the days of her life." Well, what is evil? It's obviously something that isn't good. I would like to suggest that as young women, we strive to do the opposite, which is exactly again what the verse said--good things.

Don't you think that it would be hugely profitable, perhaps even kind of exciting, to seek out ways even now, to be a Proverbs 31 woman/future wife, bringing our future husbands good all the days of our lives!? I think it would be. Maybe there are little things to work on in our characters, or maybe a skill we could learn...maybe we just need to be praying for our Mr. Future Husband's just a little more from day to day? Whatever it is, I believe it is important to start forming good habits now, that will lead to blessings, rather than trying to figure them out later on (kinda like... have you ever wished you would've started a homework assignment earlier when you realized you were trying to cram at the last minute because it's due the next morning? It's always easier to get a head start).

I think perhaps I'll be posting a list sometime, of different practical examples on how to bless your future spouse (yes, it doesn't just have to be a girls-only thing, guys). 

God has given good instruction, now if only we would put it into practice. 

Be a blessing. . . :)
