Made in His Image: A Proverbs 31 7-Day JourneySample

Focus of the Day: Living open-handed allows God’s love to flow freely through you.

Generosity is a way of life. The Proverbs 31 woman lives with an open heart and open hands, ready to give her time, encouragement, skills, or resources to bless others.

Her generosity is intentional. She notices needs, responds with compassion, and gives without holding back. She doesn’t give out of guilt or for recognition, but out of gratitude to God, knowing that all she has comes from Him.

Living generously doesn’t always mean making large financial contributions. Sometimes it’s as simple as offering a listening ear, sending an encouraging message, cooking a meal, or using your talents to serve someone else. The heart behind the act is what matters most.

Generosity changes the giver as much as it blesses the receiver. It shifts our focus from scarcity to abundance, reminding us that God is our provider. When we live open-handed, we experience the joy of being part of His work in someone’s life.

The Proverbs 31 woman’s open arms reflect the heart of God Himself, a God who freely gives grace, mercy, and provision. When we give, we mirror His character to the world.

Reflection question:
Who is God prompting you to bless this week, and what step can you take to follow through?

Prayer:
Lord, make me aware of the needs around me and give me a willing heart to respond. Teach me to live generously, trusting that You will always provide. Amen.
