Proverbs 18:22 NASB
He who finds a wife finds a good thing
And obtains favor from the Lord.
Devotional
Several great truths are taught us in the opening chapters of the Bible.
- First, we are made in God’s image, both male and female.
- Second, we are made to be different (male and female).
- Third, we are made to bless each other and be complements of one another.
- Fourth, a husband and wife were made to leave their families of origin and build their lives together.
To find a spouse for life, one created by God in His image, is to find what is truly good and what God truly desires.
