"The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no lack of gain."
In one little verse there is a goldmine of instruction!
"The heart of her husband" Isn't that what we're all working toward? To me, this phrase means the most important part of our husband. His heart: not just his affections but also the true heart, where faith, honor and character stem.
What a beautiful thing, to be wholly trusted!
What is trust?
The Webster definition of trust is "assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something"
But what does it mean to be trustworthy? Dependable, honest, open, hardworking, resourceful, insightful...the list could go on. It provides such peace of mind and harmony for the husband and family too!
"And he shall have no lack of gain"
No lack of gain in face as well as household management. It's not enough to just run your husband's house well. It's also the tender and trustworthy care of his whole being.
To me, this is such an important part of our role as women. There are so many directions the world wants to push us. But when we are grounded in faith and trust we will be able to stand by our husbands and be a better help-meet.
