York CU is studying Ecclesiastes in small groups this term. We were looking at the start of Ecclesiastes yesterday and I was reminded of Proverbs 31:10 on the opposite page of my Bible.
"A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies." - Proverbs 31:10 (NIV)
Of course, no one can find (or be) a wife of noble character on his (or her) own. It is God who gives life; it is God who gives growth; it is God who 'in all things... works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose' (Romans 8:28, NIV).
"Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD." - Proverbs 19:14 (NIV)
