The Holy Spirit was speaking to me this morning about direction.  As Solomon stated here in Proverbs 19, it is not worthwhile to have a strong drive without channeling.  A person’s efforts will be fruitless without the enlightening of God.  This pertains to a strong-willed child; personally, the section in this chapter about wives encouraged me.

I praise God He has given me Alan; I need to remember it is Him that placed me in my husband’s life.  My prayer is that I will be given understanding as to how to be an excellent wife, so I will be a good servant.  I want to be told I did a good job!  I have learned it does a wife nothing when she just has the desire of being a successful wife.  She needs to be on her knees asking God for direction in her awesome responsibility.
