Proverb for Today

"The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him: what are you doing, my son? What are you doing, son of my womb? What are you doing, son of my vows? Do not give your strength to women, your ways to those who destroy kings." Proverbs 31:1-3

Today, choose to be a woman who gives strength to her husband, her "king". Do not be a strength sponge. Be a woman who loves and honors her beloved, and shows him through actions.

Be an encourager to your beloved. This does not mean that you are always going to say the "sweet", easy things to him. Sometimes to encourage someone, you have to say hard things ~ pray, make sure your heart and attitude are right, and then gently say what needs to be said.

Give strength to your husband by making sure that what is important to him is important to you. Give strength to your husband by honoring him in word and action. Give strength to your husband by praying for him throughout the day ~ if you have children, enlist their prayers for him as well. Give strength to your husband by joyously receiving him home after a hard day's work. Give strength to your husband by showing appreciation for his provision for your family. Give strength to your husband by carefully managing what he provides.

Be a source of strength, not weakness!

Father God,
I lift up the women reading this post. I pray Father, that You would show them how they can specifically minister to their beloved today. I pray that You would build close ties between them, and that they would truely be women whose husbands trust in them. Draw them close to Yourself, and give them the strength of faith they need to be godly women.
I ask this in the Precious Name of Jesus, Amen.
