Where to Find Your Wife

Where is the best place to find your wife. Well, being that your wife is from the LORD, I would say that she can be found in the House of the LORD.

“¹⁰An excellent wife who can find?

She is far more precious than jewels.”

— Proverbs 31:10 (ESV)

I have written that your wife is from the LORD. We tend to look for the LORD to just present her to us wherever we might be. And where that is He can, isn’t in our best interest to go looking in the place we know her to be, in the House of the LORD. The question in the verse above is a good one and can be answered if/when we are looking in the right place.

I have said and maintain that the smartest people in the world do not know all the answers to all the questions, they do however know that the answers are out there, and will look for them in the logical places. So, where is the logical place to find an excellent wife who is from the LORD, in His House of course.

Lori and I have moved a couple of times in our lives together. In each time, we have made it a priority to find a church that we can call home. On graduation Sunday, our church gives to the seniors a devotional and a list of churches to plug into where they are headed. These acts alone did not or do not guarantee that you will find your wife, but the odds are certainly in your favor. When we are in the place where an excellent wife would be, our chances of connecting to the wife from God drastically increase.

Now, I do want to be careful to say that you are not out there hunting for a wife in the surrounding churches. What I am saying is that when you are plugged in at the church and doing the work of God, He will show her to you and it will be clear that she is from the LORD.

I cannot say that I found my wife Lori at the church, but what I can say is that we are both God fearing and involved in our church and for that I know that she is from the LORD. Each of us knows that the other will be there in/for the LORD and that is where we find comfort. I know that Lori is the excellent wife the LORD provided for me and I know that I can find her in the LORD.

Where are you looking for your wife? Are you hoping to find her randomly? What if you went to do the work of the LORD in His House, knowing that is the place where an excellent wife will be found?
