A Good Thing
“He who finds a wife, finds a good thing and receives favor from the Lord” says the Proverbs. I was contemplating this piece of wisdom recently after attending the wedding of a Wheeler staff member. This young man had prepared himself through the years in every way possible for marriage – spiritually, emotionally, and financially. After what seemed like an eternity (to him!) God blessed him with a lovely Christian woman to share his life and ministry. He knows he has found “a good thing.”
God’s favor rests on us in ways we don’t often recognize. Unlike this young groom, we go through life not acknowledging the great blessings bestowed on us from our Heavenly Father. I have to ask myself, am I more like the nine men who were healed of leprosy and just went on their way – or am I the one who returned to give thanks? You can read the story in Luke 17.
What can you thank the Lord for today? How has He granted you favor? I encourage you to think about it and thank Him for His blessings.
