Thursday Thirteen - A Prudent Wife

Proverbs 19:14
Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Do you know what it means to be prudent? I looked it up and it basically means wise and careful. Here are some questions I am now asking myself as I challenge myself in being a more prudent wife.

1. Am I wise in handling practical everyday problems?
2. Do I use my common sense when handling situations and making decisions?
3. Am I careful about my conduct and how I carry myself?
4. Am I careful in providing for the future by foreseeing what we will need and making sure we can meet that need? Short term like dinner and long term.
   
5. Do I use money wisely?
   
6. Do I choose my words carefully?
7. Am I practical when it comes to my desires?
8. Do I have good judgment when making decisions?
9. Am I discerning of all that is going on in situations?
10. Do I use what I have on hand wisely?
11. Am I careful of my attitude with my husband?
12. Am I careful in the upbringing of my children?
13. Do I stay level headed with all that life throws at me?

It says a prudent wife is from the Lord. It is important to be prudent then to be a blessing to our husbands.
