Proverbs 31:18~God’s Word, Her Lamp
Sunny starts us off this week with a lesson on how to better read and study scripture, and this is RIGHT ON!!! As we begin to learn about the Proverbs 31 woman in verse 18, I am suddenly struck by her wisdom in a new way. How many people continue down a path that is not beneficial or lucrative, trying to make something work that just won’t~unable to let go and try something new? The Proverbs 31 woman is always assessing the benefits and failures in what she’s doing and adjusting herself and her work accordingly! I LIKE THIS! I’m pretty sure I’ve had many seasons in which I was NOT a good example of this! Now also click over and read about her lamp not going out by night~it is very FREEING!!!! HALLELUJAH!
The next segment is from Proverbs 31:17~She Can Dress Herself. I am immediately reminded of the post I wrote down there~”So School Me”. I DO want others to make it easy for me to continue to live in faith! I don’t wanna sift through the judgements of men (and WOMEN)! I also love, love, LOVE what Sunny shares about submission~that God does not retract any of His commands!!!! I do grow weary of, “What if my husband is not a Christian?” I have yet to read the scripture that says to obey your husband only if… or unless….
Then we travel onto Luke 17:7-10~please go somewhere in private and read this for yourselves, mamas!!! This is a gem for those seasons in which we may (selfishly) feel we are in a thankless job, a reminder of who we are truly serving in the day-to-day! Next you can read what exercises help to make your arms strong… ~smile~ (((((HUGS)))) sandi
ETA how amazing that I started Douglas Wilson’s REFORMING MARRIAGE today, as it is driving home today’s lesson particularly well! ~smile~
Okay, I have always had a deep hate for the Proverbs 31 woman (not REALLY… but, you know!
) but you are making me want to revisit that a little…
huh.
Hello there! I just saw your comments on my blog and wanted to stop by and say thank you for stopping by and also that I’m so glad that you liked what you found! I love Sunny’s study. It’s been on hold here and there due to her health, so I think that is why so many have dropped out of it. I’ve had mine on hiatus for a little while but I plan to jump back in very soon. We can encourage each other even if there aren’t many other participants left! I hope you will stop by again soon!
