Scripture Pick: Proverbs 31 Mother

Scripture Read: Proverbs 31

There are many that don't realize or forget that Proverbs 31 are words of a mother teaching her son about a rare, precious, and great woman. Her first instruction is for her son the king to have righteous judgement and how to conduct himself as a man. Then she moves on to the instruction of what to look for in the right woman. 

There is so much more than just what some would say as high expectations to be a righteous woman. As it speaks of the "Proverbs 31" woman and it refers to her husband also. As Proverbs 31 comes to a close, it tells us about how her children call her "Blessed", which is the greatest praise.

 As mothers, we have to think of what we want to leave our children with; a bitter spirit, like a bad aftertaste. Or, with wisdom that will taste like a bite of the first fruit of a juicy peach that keeps giving. The mother teaches and gives direct examples of a great character and wisdom (only coming from God) to pass on to the next generations as Proverbs 31 has been given to us.

Scripture Pick: What Do We Have In Common With Plants?

                    Image found at smithmountainlakevisitorcenter.com 

A woman that looks to the Heavenly Father for guidance on how to grow. How far apart and how deep in the soil to place the seeds. How to water and wash the plants like our Spirit is. She is aware of her investment of the obligations of time, financial and physical. She welcomes commitment and responsibility. From the direction of God and her listening, she gains the confidence to get her hands dirty. Appreciating the time that it takes to water, to prune and the patience of waiting for the vineyard to grow.

We are much like a garden. God places our seed perfectly where it should be. We need nutrients and water to live. We are given room to grow and flourish like a plant when we have followed in line or order with God.
