A Blessing Beyond Measure - Steps Towards Eternity Daily Devotional

Seeing Your Wife Through God’s Eyes

“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” – Proverbs 31:10 (KJV)

Men, we often fail to recognize the depth of the blessing God has placed in our lives through our wives. The truth is, we cannot fully comprehend it on our own—God Himself must open our eyes to see the treasure He has given us.

I remember when I first realized that God was real. In that moment, something incredible happened: I saw my wife in a way I never had before. She had always been there, yet there was a depth, a strength, a virtue in her that I had never truly seen. It was as if God pulled back the veil and revealed the remarkable woman He had placed in my life. The qualities He instilled in her were beyond anything I could have recognized on my own—He had to show me Himself.

A Gift from the Lord

“House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.” – Proverbs 19:14 (KJV)

A godly wife is not just a life partner; she is a divine blessing, given by the Lord Himself. Every day, I see my wife’s heart—her love for our family, her selflessness, her wisdom, and her desire to serve others. These qualities are not just admirable; they are evidence of God’s hand in her life.

I am reminded to thank God daily for her, to recognize His marvelous work in her, and to cherish the gift He has given me. On the days I failed to acknowledge this, I ask for His forgiveness, because I never want to take for granted what He has so graciously provided.

When God created me, He had her in mind. And when He created her, He had me in mind.

Reflective Questions:

Have I asked God to help me see my wife through His eyes?
Do I intentionally express gratitude for the blessing she is in my life?
How can I better cherish, honor, and support her in our daily walk?
Am I modeling Christ’s love for my wife as He loves the Church?
If your single, Ask: Am I seeking God’s wisdom in the qualities of a godly spouse?

Prayer:

Father, thank You for the incredible blessing of my wife. Open my eyes daily to see her as You see her. Help me to honor, love, and cherish her as Christ loves the Church. Forgive me for the times I have overlooked Your marvelous work in her, and help me to never take her for granted. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
