    I wrote this for myself ❤️
    I am a women of valor, and will lift up those who hang low.
    I will lift by the grace of Christ and the power of godliness that is in me because I am a daughter of THE KING!
    I will plant life where others see barren.
    I will be the giver of good things to come.
    I will breath hope into others who have none.
    I will bring love and serve those who can’t love and serve themselves.
    I will be strong in my connection to God and my beloved family.
    I will make mistakes and learn and repent and turn again to Jesus.
    I will be a force for good and my house is a safe haven for those who have broken hearts and need refuge.
    I will keep connecting with my father and go to him when I seek guidance.

    Your discussion of Proverbs 31 reminded me of a study that was done in Britain, in which researchers analyzed the tasks performed by hotel housekeepers as they cleaned hotel rooms, etc., and how, over the course of a day, a typical housekeeper performed the equivalent of a major workout such as one might do in a gym. They took a group of housekeepers and showed them exactly what kind of workout they were getting on a daily basis, and how beneficial such a workout could be. Thereafter, they tracked the fitness of the housekeepers over several months (there was no additional instruction or treatment; just the information). They also followed a control group that had been given no special information. They found that members of the study group lost weight and improved in fitness, while the control group experienced no significant changes. The mere fact of knowing that the work they were doing was physically beneficial was sufficient to magnify the beneficial effect of that work.
    Perhaps a woman who looks at the characteristics of a virtuous woman and recognizes some of those in herself might gain in faith by knowing that she already has many of the elements of a woman of valor, where previously she might have felt overwhelmed by her life or was blind to her own contributions to the lives of those around her.

    As always, a great post. FYI for fortune cookies: 20 years ago, when my daughter got married, we ordered fortune cookies where we could put whatever we wanted in them. We put their names and the date on some of them and little mottos like "Families are Forever" and such. We gave them at the reception along with the other refreshments. They were quite a hit!

    I adore the Book of Ecclesiastes. I am a Christian because of it. To me, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are of greater value for day-to-day living than the rest of the scriptural canon put together. I have been waiting all year for this day.

    One of my favorite quotes is fron Margaret Naduald in Nov 2000 about how "Women of God can never be like women of the world." The whole quote is so good and goes right along with what you're talking about. I think it's unfortunate that modern feminism has distorted what a "strong woman" is.

    • @steadybetty

Yes, I’m implementing a new habit of Eshet Chayil on Saturdays. Yes, David. You gave the words my heart (and everyone else) needed to hear. Each of us have a contribution to bring in this restoration, “they’re not just nice words”. 💗💗

    Her candle goeth not out…in ancient homes there was a shelf (candlestick of King James translators) on which sat a clay lamp that sent a soft glow over the whole one room home…the wife had to rise to refill the lamp with oil during the night so it would never go out. It was symbolic of the mother keeping darkness at bay, lighting her home with her steady faith in God to protect them, but also a literal task the mother willingly did, night after night.

    You Are MY PEOPLE. I feel we are very much meant to be friends someday! You will know me. I love you forever. You have empowered me, I feel so cozy in your joyful, hopeful, loving, Incredible LIGHT! THANK YOU!!!
    I just want to add one thing to David your beautiful idea from the scriptures from Proverbs about
    A Man’s heart deviceth… God picks the steps…
    I would add- Whatever Dream is in your heart
    It Was Placed There By God
    And it is your call on your life
    And as sure as gravity He will make it happen if you trust Him and commit to that dream and go through the times where it looks like nothing is happening- that’s where He is growing your roots and already has planned out everything for your wings and your crown! Our lives are meant for great things and He wants all our dreams to come true because He plans to fulfill them to fulfill His Plans. My dream is to bring Hope, Abundance, Joy and an Ownership mentality back to the Culture of the saints especially in Utah! ♥️ And you two are already very much on that path! And I Respect and Adore you two so fiercely!
    David! Emily! We will be your friends someday!

      Amen to that! I'm an eighteen-year-old on the path to being an author, and I'm completely confident that that dream and goal was put there by God. He helped me develop the mindset to write and lead me to the trade school I'm in in a way that's nothing short of miraculous! And I know He'll help me achieve this goal.
      I've been told multiple times by my trade school instructors (it's Christian-based) that God gave me this love of writing for a reason, and that my words should glorify Him regardless of genre or topic. I'm sooo excited to see what stories God will place in my heart and the effect (however small) they will have on the world.

  • @nicoledurland4696
    @nicoledurland4696 2 роки тому

    It seems Proverbs 3:5 is a re-statement of "fear God" - that to fear Him IS to "trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding". If we put God first, or are willing to "Let God Prevail", that is fearing God. In other words, to esteem His counsel/guidance more than our own ideas or ways of "the world". I think of "fear" as "who are you concerned to oblige?" Are you worried/concerned about what others will think of your choice, or about what God will think?

    I like the perspective you share, but I'm think we miss out on comparing Job 29 with Proverbs 31 or rather the righteous man and righteous woman. We always look at the "list" of attributes ascribed to women in Proverbs 31, but never the list of attributes for men. Men also have a lot to do. ;)
