The title to this blog is a scripture that is found in Proverbs 31:25(nlt)
*This is from my home school group that I first joined when I started on this journey to homeschooling in TN , I thought it was great*
God's well dressed woman clothes herself with strength by taking care of her mind and body. She girds her mental wellness with regular bible study,worship and prayer. She knows to "seek the Lord and his strength" by seeking his presence continually(1 Chronicles 16:11 RSV) Her mind is fixed on the Lord, and she looks expectantly for his provision.
This well-dressed woman also girds her physical well being by eating well and resting regularly. Proverbs 31:27 says "she watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bred of idleness" Even a casual perusal of the 31st chapter of Proverbs lets us know God's woman is not lazy! however, neither does she allow busyness to drain her. Exhaustion causes poor spiritual reflexes,and priorities to slide.
She is not only a woman of action, but also a woman of character.God's well-dressed woman clothes herself with dignity. She is poised,confident in her Lord, and gracious. She knows her worth because she knows how much God was willing to pay to spend eternity with her. Her head is held high because she has been chosen. She takes time to learn God's ways so she can make right choices that honor him. She is trustworthy, honest and wise. She knows that wisdom will "set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor")Proverbs 4:9 NIV) She speaks with wisdom and conduct becomes her.
I love that the Proverbs 31 woman is able to face the future wihout fear. She is not just devoid of fear, but filled with joy to the point of laughter! She has tranquility of mind becuase she trusts in her Lord. She has peace despite frighting circumstances because she prays. She has joy despite the sorrows of life because she loves. Now that is a woman who can turn heads!
" Lord God, I know that mankind looks at my outward appearance but you look at my heart. Create in me a clean heart, a soft heart. Clothe me in your strength , help me to make right choices, allow my appearnce to turn heads towards you.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!
