Does Him Good

By Travis Robertson

"She does him good and not evil, all the days of her life.” – Proverbs 31:12
    In the Disney movie The Incredibles there is a funny dialogue between the superhero Frozone and his wife:
    Frozone: Where is my super suit?
    Frozone's Wife: What?
    Frozone: WHERE. IS. MY. SUPER. SUIT?
    Frozone's Wife: Why do you need to know?
    Frozone: I NEED IT!
    Frozone's Wife: Uh-huh.
    Frozone: THE PUBLIC IS IN DANGER! YOU TELL ME WHERE MY SUIT IS, WOMAN! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GREATER GOOD!
    Frozone's Wife: "Greater good?" I am your wife! I am the GREATEST GOOD you are EVER gonna get!
    While this is a funny argument between two characters in a movie, it helps illustrate the point in Proverbs 31:12. We see that one of the attributes of an excellent wife is that she does good to her husband. In Genesis chapter two when God expresses that it is not good for man to be alone, He created woman to be that companion. The person that would walk alongside man and spend all their days together. There is a great list in Proverbs 31 that details all the good this excellent wife does.
    Men, we do better when we are together with a wonderful woman, that is the way God designed it. To all the women in our lives, thank you for all the good you have done and continue to do!
