A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

Women are changing the world. We’re breaking barriers in the marketplace and stepping into leadership roles that are redefining our culture. The words of Proverbs 31 formulate a beautiful and timeless poem about a woman on a mission with God-inspired characteristics. She demonstrates the qualities that are God honoring in the areas of work, faith and family. Let’s learn what it takes to be women filled with strength and dignity.
I believe the "Proverbs 31 woman" was spoken about in the Holy Bible to empower us. Whether we realize it or not, we each have many of the attributes attributed to her in us already. Allow this devotional to encourage you. I've highlighted some things that stuck out to me. In doing so, I hope we can gain perspective from one another.
When God’s people fall and need a helping hand, our Saviour is quick to respond and set them on their feet again. A word of encouragement, a moments time, and a heart of love and compassion are the key ingredients for a healing balm. We are called to be faithful, not judgemental. Let us be merciful, for we too have received mercy.
Common sense might suggest that God couldn’t possibly care about the five loads of washing you have to do, the email you need to respond to, or the burst pipe you’re about to fix. But what if He does? In this plan, Mark Greene explores what the Bible says about why your work – paid or unpaid, in an office, in a factory, or at home – really matters to God.
