9l. A Trustworthy Wife, 1 Timothy 3:11

9l, A Trustworthy Wife

1 Timothy 3:11 In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. 

Trustworthy is the final attribute mentioned here for the characteristic of a worthy leader's wife. It is important for us to remember the necessity of a godly wife to a man's leadership role within the church. One cannot faithfully carry out his duties unless supported by a woman who is committed fully to the Lord. She needs to be trustworthy in all she does and says. Her word should be golden. You can count on her faithfulness.

A and K, God is looking for faithful servants. You can be one whom God has chosen, but will you? Chose to be one he can count on. Let your yes be yes and your no, no. Be truthful in all things. Love your husband and serve him with devotion and joy. Never trade him in for anyone else. Just like your relationship with Christ, your marriage is to be true and never ending. Let nothing and no one ever come between you. And in your dealings with others, always deal honestly with them. Never use them for your own gain. Let them see what it means to be a holy and steadfast follower of Christ. God has given each of you talents. Use them for his glory and one day you will hear the words... Well done my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joys of thy Lord. What wonderful words to hear from our Savior when this life is over.
