POSITIONAL AWARENESS Be just, show mercy, walk humbly with God. (Micah 6:8 CSB) Mankind, he has told each of you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God. So, yesterday finished our Proverbs 31 verses. And it ended with simplicity. With a focus on keeping the main thing the main thing – living purely and simply....

SIMPLICITY Live purely and simply, letting your actions speak more than your words. Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised. (Proverbs 31:30 CSB) “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting…” Boy ain’t that the truth? How many times have I been fooled by charm without substance or commitment or faithfulness or …?...

PRIORITIES Spend time alone in the Word, and reverence God always. “Many women have done noble deeds, but you surpass them all!” (Proverbs 31:29 CSB) Now I don’t know about you, but I can talk a very good game – I can strategize and plan and suggest solutions ALL. DAY. LONG. It’s the discipline of putting them into action where I tend to fall behind and miss the mark....

HUMILITY Accept praise graciously. And don't seek it. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also praises her…Give her the reward of her labor, and let her works praise her at the city gates. (Proverbs 31:28,31 CSB) Did you notice there’s a lot of people mentioning how great she is… but none of them are her. Also, it doesn’t necessarily say that she hears them, either....

INDUSTRIOUSNESS Shun idleness. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle. (Proverbs 31:27 CSB) Never. Idle. Ugh. I love to be idle. I love “downtime.” And by downtime, I mean, to be somewhere at some time where absolutely no one needs anything from me for that moment. It’s actually quite rare. As a wife, mom, full-time office employee in a hospital, and bi-vocational worship leader, there are very few moments in any day where there’s not somebody somewhere depending on me for something....

KINDNESS Be kind to others. Loving instruction is on her tongue. (Prov. 31:26b CSB) For the most part, I think I’m a pretty kind person naturally. Some of my family members might want to argue the point, but I digress. But I base that premise on my definition of kindness. What I think kindness looks like. And sometimes, as a life-long struggler with codependency, my view of what kindness is may or may not actually be objectively true....

WORDS Watch what you say; speak and teach wisdom faithfully. Her mouth speaks wisdom. (Proverbs 31:26a CSB) I don’t know about you, but I talk a lot. To myself, to others, to the wall, it doesn’t really matter, I just have a need to use words all the time. But… What am I saying? What am I putting out there with my words?...

GOOD HUMOR Laugh freely. She can laugh at the time to come. (Proverbs 31:25b CSB) What does it feel like to be around someone who always seems to be salty or sour? (Side note: why do we describe attitudes with taste-words - Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, etc? Weird… anyway) It’s just plain no fun, is it? It takes no time at all for me to match their disposition....

JOY Choose joy. She can laugh at the time to come. (Proverbs 31:25b CSB) Ok, so we all know that joy is different than happiness, right? Joy is a spiritual thing, not an emotional one. It comes from faith (believing God) and hope (the confident expectation that He will do what He says). Joy is possible even in the midst of sorrow…...

INTEGRITY Practice strength and honor. She makes and sells linen garments; she delivers belts to the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing, (Proverbs 31:24-25a CSB) When you think of the word “integrity,” what comes to your mind? For me, first it’s usually the word “character.” A person of integrity is almost always going to be someone with a steadfast, moral character....

POSITIVITY Use your words to build up your spouse and children – both to them and to others. Her husband is known at the city gates, where he sits among the elders of the land. (Proverbs 31:23 CSB) Her husband is known and he sits in a place of prominence with prominent people. For a long time, I wondered why this was in a chapter about…...

COMPASSION Look after those in need. Her hands reach out to the poor, and she extends her hands to the needy. (Proverbs 31:20 CSB) Today, we’re going to keep our eyes peeled for any opportunity to bless those who are struggling that God puts in our path. Sometimes they’re obvious, but sometimes, we have to really look to find them. But I can assure you they’re there....
