Find that woman Wisdom (for example, Proverbs 8) through the thoughts at Proverbial Thought!
There are two ways of looking at things (for my purposes today, at least): literally and allegorically. This is done with the Bible regularly ( in both good and correct ways and bad and incorrect ways). The Bible itself does this, as many verses in the New Testament make the allegorical connection to Jesus with Old Testament verses.
Likewise, the poem today has a double viewing in mind.
The literal view is based on the relationship I have with my wife. The message I would point to for others to take is that your significant other, specifically your spouse, should constantly point you back to God in the name of Jesus and through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The allegorical view is based on how God relates to us through His Church.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:22-27, ESV
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Revelation 21:1-3
Love your husband or wife. Love the Bride of Christ. In so doing, you will see and share the love of Christ.
The woman in my life …
… makes me happy and brings me joy.
She leads me to the Father and pushes me to praise my Lord.
The woman in my life is my gift from Jesus Christ.
She mixes me up inside and also makes me smile.
The woman in my life …
… brings the love of God and shows me there is still good.
She brings me to a place of love and guides me to my God above.
This woman is a woman meant for a godly man.
If I am considered godly …
… then I must do more to honor our sovereign Lord.
I must seek His Heart and keep doing so in my heart.
If I am considered godly, it is because He made me.
I will keep my God first and give Him all He deserves.
If I am considered godly …
… then I must try the hardest to remember Jesus,
because I cannot forfeit what my Lord has sent.
The woman in my life …
… helps me be godly.
If I am considered godly …
… it is because of a godly woman in my life.
a simple man of God
