TOPIC: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!
TEXT: Proverbs 31:15-19(NKJV)
31:15. She also rises while it is yet night, And provides food for her household, And a portion for her maidservants.
31:16. She considers a field and buys it; From her profits she plants a vineyard.
31:17. She girds herself with strength, And strengthens her arms.
31:18. She perceives that her merchandise [is] good, And her lamp does not go out by night.
31:19. She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.
STUDY:
A person who needs peace must learn the secret of having peace. A person who desires success must learn the secret of success. Our text today contains basic lessons that can help families to build healthy homes. First, the virtuous woman as we can see in verse 15 took responsibility. She rises up early to prepare food for her household and maidservants. She does not hand over domestic work to maidservant as is common today. Second, she makes investment in family interest (v.16). In verse 18, we notice that the virtuous woman is equally a merchant with commitment to family well-being. Beloved, you can draw strength from the lifestyle of the virtuous woman. The change needed to make your home a glorious one is in your hands. Just show the commitment that is required of you as the wife or husband that God has given trust to build a promising home. Where service is required from you, give it. Where commendation is expected from you, give it. Learn and apply these good family-building formula and you will get good results. Remember that God is interested in your family and you are answerable to Him. Be careful.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, may I never disappoint you in your great trust upon me in my family responsibilities, Amen!
