“Oh don’t forget the rubies, the rarest of all gems. Is your crown radiating with rubies of reverence and respect for your husband?”

Proverbs 12:4: “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”
Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Proverbs 12:4:
“4 A good brave wife is the crown of her husband,
But as rottenness in his bones is one that causeth shame.
As Proverbs 11:16 says of אושׁת חן, the p
Many times in life, we are faced with different challenges. This life comes with its own pressures in every sphere. Sometimes, you might seem to have failed in what you want to do. And right there you are. A downcast. A laughing stock. Your friends chose to leave you. Then when you turn around, you find nobody but yourself. This is a typical description of someone who has lost everything or something that he holds dear. What am I saying? There are things that you have to accept. For instance, yo
I have a terrible sense of direction.
I’m easily confused; especially in new places. The problem goes beyond highways and interstates; I have a hard time finding our table in a restaurant when returning from the ladies room.
Do I turn right or left? I wonder if a GPS would help.
Is there help for the confused?
Oh no, this town has one-way streets.
Help!
I know one thing; there is only one way to God.
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no
“Just a minute! You can’t forget the crowning jewel of all – contentment! This jewel adds luster to your crown. This jewel releases your husband from bondage and pressure. Sadly, it is often a missing jewel. It’s easy to be content when you have everything you want. But can you learn to be content when you don’t have everything you want? Can you be content with what your husband provides for you? I am always challenged by Psalm 128:3 TLB where it talks about the “contented” wife in the h
Romans 8:18, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Battles are faced by everyone. In fact, the storms of life come against everyone, and many times we tend to see only the bad in the storm. We only see the trouble it causes. In fact, battles make us stronger and they stretch us beyond our normal level.
If soldiers do not go to war, they become weak and this is the same for every one of us. So how can
Countless people succumb to new car fever.
Others dream of moving into a new apartment or house. I was happy when my sister Donna had her new apartment experience. Her name was on the list of prospective tenants as the building was still in construction.
Donna was one of the first to move in. Not long ago, friend Nancy had the same advantage at her assisted living apartment. New is nice.
I guess I’m weird; I like new ordinary things.
I like to open new boxes of tea, ca
“Adorn your crown with amethysts of admiration, affection, affirmation, approval, appreciation and attentiveness.”

Proverbs 12:4: “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.”
Pulpit Commentary on Proverbs 12:4: “She that maketh ashamed; “that doeth shamefully” (Proverbs 10:5; Proverbs 19:26); one who is a terrible contrast to the woman of strong character – weak, indolent, immodest, wasteful. Is as rottenness in
The truth is God's favor will change your life and everything in it, and I declare that everything in your life is breaking in your favor. That struggle, that problem, that difficulty is over now, because the Lord's favor is upon you hallelujah! Now many christians believe that they have to somehow earn the favor of God, but the truth is we already have his favor. God saved us because of his favor towards us. Ephesians 2:8 tells us
for by grace you have been saved through faith and that not o

Some days, it may seem hard to even get out of bed. Hopelessness, fear, doubt, discouragement, self-pity and more may attack your mind and emotions. But by the grace of God, you can overcome these and rise up to the best life ever (John 10:10)! Jesus, God's loving Son, will help you overcome!
…For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that ha
