Hello sisters!
Another day we have to make a lot of choices in. May we make good ones which fit the gospel of our Lord and are not ones which keep us out of the kingdom of God. It's pretty serious to think about how our actions and whole life in general have eternal consequences. We don't want anything coming between us and God. We need to cut off all that causes us to stumble or to drift from a pure life in Him. We need to be open and honest and on guard for those things.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
Proverbs 4:23-27
Here's some encouragement from the Proverbs 31 woman to help us keep going diligently in our duties!
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Proverbs 31:13-27
It mentions she works willingly with her hands. It also mentions being strengthened. Sometimes we don't want to get our hands dirty so to speak but you just need to roll up your sleeves and get into it!
It mentions she is wise and kind. We know wisdom begins with fearing God.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:30-31
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.Ephesians 4:32
There's a lot of things to ponder in every area of His Word! God gave us so very much guidance. Let us heed it all!
Hold fast in the truth, sisters!
Love in Christ.
