My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

He will trust her - Proverbs 31
In today's marriage "industry" the ability to "trust" a spouse has been shattered, broken, watered-down and brought into suspect. In Proverbs 31:11 we read that when a man fines an "excellent" wife (31:10) his heart will "trust" in her and he will have no "lack" of gain. God's plan for marriage seems pretty plain and simply. He provided a partner for the man that would have some relationship with man and cause him to relax and be satisfied in that relationship. Because she is a woman who "fears God" she will be trusted by the man in this relationship. His trust of her is directly tied to her trust of God. That is so simply it is breath-taking. God intended trust to be built upon, not our mutual ability to "prove" our abilities, but on our moral character and Godly compass. God makes it simply. It is the evil in our hears and the evil of the world and demonic realm that causes the lack of trust. God wanted the marriage to be a perfect example of His bound with us. That is why it is so under attack. Trust in another can only be found when we have trust in our Maker.
