little early this time

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

well i think this is a little obvious, don't be a weakling! lol

so don't let yourself get fat and lazy, and if your there work on getting out of the slump. ( speaking of no one in particular, just know that it can happen before you know it)

anyway i have another bible study topic for when we finish Porverb's 31 try 1 peter 3? on being a good wife, and although most of us arn't wives yet we will be in the future.

God bless

thea

lilshortbread said...: sounds abotu right, thea! Women should not be pussies, but strong and capable. This could also be God's strength, knowledge, scripture memorization and practicing what we preach...

I look forward to your next study. ;-)

fiona said...: that's a great post :-). it is neat how this verse tells us we should not only strive for spiritual fitness, but that we should keep ourselves fit and strong physically as well.; Wednesday, January 24, 2007 5:50:00 PM

the Proverbs 31 woman

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She seeketh wool, and flax,and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household. and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good:her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle and her hands hold the distaff.

She stretcheth her hand to the poor;yea,she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates,when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom;and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her:

Many daughters have done virtuously,but thou excellest them all. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
