Proverbs 31 Woman

You probably know that Proverbs 31 is the "ideal wife" chapter.  It envolves wifely dudies as well as her character.  We all need to work on our character, right?!  Women were created to help their husbands and we need to bring good to our husbands.  So how can we do this? We can start by setting aside the poor behaviors that always get in the way of a healthy marriage and put on the character of Christ.  I decided to have a personal study with this chapter in January.  It will be like a new years resolution - but fun!  I'm always up for some personal growth and a challenge.

The Seven Principles of the Proverbs 31 Woman

The Proverbs 31 Woman...

• Pursues an ongoing, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

• Loves, honors, and greatly enriches the life of her husband, encouraging and supporting his leadership within his family and his church.

• Shaping and molding the children who will one day define who we are as a community and as a nation.

• Creates a warm and loving environment for family and friends.

• Is a faithful steward (steward = manager --> thanks Dave Ramsey for explaining that one) of the time and money God has entrusted to her.

• Speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction as she encourages others and develops godly friendships.

• Shares the love of Christ by extending her hands to help the poor and opening her arms to the needy.

I'm excited to get this journey a rollin'

Happy Wednesday!
