Job chided his wife for giving him horrible advice in his sufferings..saying she was spiritually foolish.
âThen his wife said to him, âDo you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die.â But he said to her, âYou speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?â In all this Job did not sin with his lips.â

As wives, we are oftentimes sounding boards for our husbands, let us ensure that what we use to help them is the wisdom that comes down from the Father.
Before they are our husbands, they are our brothers in Christ. Let us love them in a practical way by being wise in the things of the Lord, and being able to lift them up when needed.
While we are not given the authority to lead men, but we are given the task to be a helpmeet and an encourager.
While we do not usurp spiritual authority over our husbands, we should seek to be diving deep into the Word of God so that we can be a resource for them, our children, and neighbors.
We should seek to be a blessing by being biblically informed.
