31 October Mornings Spent in Prov. 31

Well, it's finally October. There's a chill in the air, and the leaves are slowly starting to change colors. The days are getting shorter now, too. This is the first entry in the new Proverbs 31 series. I was going to actually have a devotional for you this morning, but I think it is important to know what we're getting into, so you can see the "big picture". This is probably the shortest entry I'll ever write. :) I want you to go right now, sit down in a quiet spot and read Proverbs 31. It's not terribly long. That way, we'll be ready to explore the chapter together... little bits at a time. Have a blessed day, and happy reading!

Hey! I am sooo sorry I've not been able to get here lately. I haven't been on the comp much. I've thought about you lots and prayed for you though!
I am excited to see what the Lord has been showing you about this chapter!
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
James3:17
This is one of my favorite verses to meditate on.
Will be checking in here again soon!
Love you,your SSA

Queen Vashti, definitely NOT a Proverb's 31 woman

Recently I have read about Queen Vashti, and how she stood up for her rights and values, and now how you state that she was a modest woman.

Honestly, I didn't know her or what she was thinking when she refused to make an appearance before her king and his company.

What I do know is God's Word, and what He tells us as Christian women.

1) 1Corinthians 11:3 - "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ, an the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God."

2) 1Corinthians 11:9-11 - "Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man (10)For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angles. (11)Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man"

3) Ephesians 5:21-22 "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God (22)Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord"

4) Titus 2:3-5 - The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; (4)That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, (5)To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not Blasphemed.

I realize that Vashti and her King were not Christians or even Jews, but as Christian women we should be promoting God's word, and His law, and spreading His message to all women.

My suggestion is to watch the movie "One Night With The King" - The Story of Esther, and you will see in Esther the epitomy of a loving, caring wife, who is fashioned after The Lord.


God Bless you all as you serve Him
