She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. Have you ever felt you just can’t do it all? That you just want to curl up, go to sleep, and let the world go by? […]
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. I’m currently reading a book by Larry Burkett called Personal Finances for background research on a budgetting session I’ll be presenting on at my church next month. In one section he writes about striving for excellence and quotes 1 Peter […]
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up whilst it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. Wow! A lot to live up to! The Proverbs 31 Woman is not only […]
My apologies if you’ve tried to post comments in the past and have been unable to do this easily – I hadn’t realised that when I set up on my own server that the settings were different to what I’d had on the free server. It’s now been adjusted and whilst comment moderation is necessary, […]
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. Does this describe you if you are a wife? This is not to say that the wife is his slave, but that he values her abilities and skills and appreciates all […]
My church is planning a financial seminar in August and I’ve been asked to present on budgeting. I do budget my own earnings and tithe as well, and know the basic principles but I wanted to add to my knowledge so started seeking out biblical teachings on organising money in the home. I didn’t have […]
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. The verses from 10 onwards describe a woman that any man would be proud to have as his wife. Here we are given a wonderful description of what a wife can be and what she can do for her husband […]
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” King Lemuel’s mother spoke wise words to teach a King how to look out for his people and to protect those who could not protect […]
Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. Interesting that humankind hasn’t changed much in a few thousand years. Alcohol is still used today by many to forget their woes and to put a different view […]
I will get around to the Proverbs31Woman but thought I’d start from the beginning of Proverbs 31 and work my way through. I have found it quite an interesting exercise to do. It’s required some research, reading and thinking on my part. And in the process I’ve found some great sites relating to the Proverbs31Woman, […]
