In order to be an amazing requires wisdom and understanding. The kind of wisdom and understanding that tells you, you must have a ministry in order to even wear the name “wife”. You need to be bring something to the relationship. This week I gave my followers a definition of “wifehood” – being the kind of woman who brings health and wholeness to the marriage. This means you-yourself must already be healthy and whole in order to offer it as a ministry in your marriage. As a woman, providing wisdom should be one of your ministries. Don’t be thrown by word ministry either. Ministry is simply providing a service.
Wise women are women of substance, virtue, and maturity. They are not competitors but compliment and complete their husbands with their ministry. They walk alongside him offering wise counsel. Many times the difference between wisdom and foolishness is timing. Nagging is just saying the right thing at the wrong time and too many times. Wise women speak less but when they do speak their words uplift, encourage and are beneficial. You bring health and wholeness in the words you choose to use.
The wise woman is attentive to everything. Seeking to minister at the right time in the most beneficial way. She is also attentive so she can watch for danger and error. She is always seeking wisdom to stay ahead and know things before they even happen. We call this a woman’s intuition. This is part of your purpose, power, and influence as a wife.
The best example of this is Michelle Obama and President Barrack Obama. She definitely walked alongside him as he led our great nation. Offering he wise counsel. Complimenting him and not competing with him. She brought health and wholeness to the relationship, using her influence and intuition that provided an environment of trust, security, and encouragement. We see this in how she spoke to and about her husband.
Seek wisdom ladies in all areas! This will make you an amazing wife.
