Proverbs 31:25-31
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Michelle brought up this scripture last night at group - and I think it is a great re-focus-er! Look at how she is described: clothed with dignity and strength (vs.25), faithful and wise (vs. 26), she is BUSY -but faithful! (vs.27). Then, look at the wisdom offered at the end - a woman who FEARS the LORD is to be praised (vs.30), and the goal is for her busy works to bring praise to the city - or, GOD! (vs. 31).
So, Women, Where is your focus today? Are you taking on this description? YOU can be the Proverbs 31 woman that God wants you to be, just seek him today in your actions and busyness =].
Thank you for this post! Busyness is not bad....but lets glorify God in it! :)
