The woman who fears the Lord

I love how God puts topics into our lives over and over again until we start understanding, and not only understanding but APPLYING and LIVING OUT what he has spoken. and this is what he's spoken.


Proverbs 31:10-31

10 An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
and works with willing hands.
14 She is like the ships of the merchant;
she brings her food from afar.
15 She rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
17 She dresses herself with strength
and makes her arms strong.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
20 She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes bed coverings for herself;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them;
she delivers sashes to the merchant.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

27 She looks well to the ways of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates

Not until the day I start working on becoming Mrs right, will my Mr Right come. In order for me to be ready to be in a relationship, a serious relationship with the intent of marriage I first need to become the person I want to find. This comes as a challenge. I tend to settle. I am sick of settling.

{{Jesus give me strength to BECOME a woman who fears you ABOVE ALL ELSE. Let my mind focus on you, because you say that when my eyes are set on you then my path will be made straight. I am done settling for people who are not in your will. I want to be in line with YOU. I want to have less of my emotions and more of your sound mind. I want to be so content in the ways of you, and in your character that I am lost. God I want to be l o s t in you, in your love. I want to be your bride. You have my heart, you have my soul, and you have my mind. Lord I want to know yours.}}
