30 Day True Woman Make-Over: Day 9


Day 9
High and Holy Calling

In Proverbs 31, we read about a woman who gives and gives and gives. How does she keep giving?
  • You are never more like Jesus than when you are serving.
  • What a blessing it is for a man to know that there is a wife at home who is watching and praying in his behalf, praying that as he goes out into the world, God will protect him and keep his heart pure.
  • It is a high and holy calling to be a helper to your husband and to manage the affairs of your household.

30 Day True Woman Make-Over: Day 6


Day 4
Working Joyfully

If you are a mom, it probably seems like your work is never done, but there is a way to make the work lighter. If you tackle your projects out of a sense of love, you will experience new energy and motivation.
  • The Proverbs 31 woman has a heart of virtue and excellence; a godly strength and character that is lived out in the context of her home.
  • This woman is not only a hard worker; she is cheerful about her work.
  • This woman has a different attitude about work because she sees the purpose, meaning, and motivation behind that work. It is love--love for others and love for God. Her love for God makes her willing to work with her hands in providing food, clothing, and cleanup around her house.

30 Day True Woman Make-Over: Day 5


Day 5
A Godly Woman's Work

Do you realize that the work you do today is important to God? Learn how you can glorify God in the way you work, and in where you work.
  • It is a privilege and a high calling to tend to the practical, physical affairs of your home.
  • Your good works ought first to be done at home, ministering to the needs of your family. Then as God gives you time, opportunity, available resources--or in a different season of life--take those gifts and abilities and expand them.
  • As you handle the practical details related to the care of your family, there is profit. Work is good!



p.s. I could not post this Saturday because we had a Jr. High and HS football game in Dayton, OH, so we were gone all day.
