| Marriage? |
Here in verse 21 of Proverbs 18, we are reminded just how powerful words are. They have the power of life and death, the writer says. They do but this is not the verse I want to concentrate on today. I want to look at the next verse.
He that finds a wife a good thing. I would expand that a bit and say that when someone finds a good spouse have found a great thing. It is like gaining God's favor. For those that have such a marriage can understand this truth, but for those who haven't been married or don't have a good one, you might not be able to imagine marriage as a wonderful thing. In truth, the bad examples of marriage have hidden its greatness, behind the images of abuse and hardship. This doesn't mean that marriage is bad, but as with many things if done wrong they make it look that way.
A car is a great tool but used wrongly or driven while under the influence it is an instrument of destruction. This is true with marriage also, just as the problem with the car is the driver, so in marriage, it isn't the institution it's the people driving it.
