I often enjoy reading about the proverbs 31 woman to see where I could improve.
Well you guys, this morning I had a revelation.
She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
Proverbs 31:15 NLT
Three things in this verse..
1. She gets up early to serve others.
2. She plans her day instead of letting it just happen to her.
3. She has help!!!! Yall I’ve read this chapter so many times but this stuck out to me. She has other women helping her accomplish her goals and plans for the day. Whether it was chores or watching her children while she “worked” outside the home.
She makes belted linen garments and sashes to sell to the merchants.
Proverbs 31:24 NLT
She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard.
Proverbs 31:16 NLT
She sold to merchants.
She’s in realistate yall…
She is a good business woman!
18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.
She stays up late making good business transactions and making sure she is making profit.
21 She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.
She prepares for winter and for drought.
Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber. She makes her own bedspreads. She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
Proverbs 31:19, 22 NLT
She is creative and helpful by adding to her home. Nowadays it might look like being creative and using your gift to make money so you can buy your best of the best bedspreads 😜
She dresses in fine linen and purple gowns.
Ladies, she takes care of herself. She doesn’t look bummy and depressed.
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
Proverbs 31:25 NLT
She isn’t worried about tomorrow. She is at peace and joyful with laughter.
When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
Proverbs 31:26 NLT
Yall, she is a wise teacher. She speaks in kindness. She isn’t rude or prideful.
She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness.
Proverbs 31:27 NLT
She always knows what’s going on in her home because she doesn’t zone out on her phone while her children destroy the house
… ok that interpretation may be far off but I’ll just add it here for me… Haha.
She is a hard worker and is never lazy.
This is huge for me
…
I sometimes like to be lazy.. not even going to lie…
17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.
I encourage you to read the chapter of proverbs 31 for yourself and read a couple different translations to better understand it.
You notice it never said, she was a gossip and chatted about everything with all her lady friends… haha.
