S- Proverbs 31:19 "In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers."
O- She made and/or mended clothes for her family.
A- God has blessed me with the knowledge of using a sewing machine. I am not an advanced seamstress (like Miss Melissa), but I do know a thing or two. And am also good at pretending I know what I'm doing. I can bless my family by making or fixing things for them. And I could bless others by making things for them.
P- Thank you God for blessing me with the skill of sewing. I pray that you would help me use it to bless my family and others. Please show me other skills that you have blessed me with that would benefit others and help me to do so. Thank you for continuing to show me how great you are. Help me to be a servant for you. Thank you for teaching me and showing me how to be a servant, by being one first. In your name I pray, Amen.

You are a Proverbs 31 woman in the making and so am I…..non of us have arrive…..but that’s not the point. The point isn’t about BEING the perfect wife or mother, it’s about LIVING a life that is focused on God. My sweet friend, keep your eyes on Jesus. He will mold you into the wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend that He made you to be. We are not called to be Martha Stewart or Mary Poppins…..we are called to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls and minds and to love our neighbors as ourselves…that’s the true Proverbs 31 woman.
Weekly Challenge: Pray and ask God to help you see the needs of others around you. Then bless someone this week by seeing the need and meeting it. Share with your group how God worked through you to meet this need.
Ideas include:
- Helping someone while you are out and about during your day…..picking up something that they dropped, carrying out the groceries etc.
- Babysitting for the single mom down the road
- Going through your closets and giving some of your clothes, toys and other items that could be helpful to someone else.
- Surprise the family down the street who are having financial problems with a gift card or a check to help pay for one of their bills.
- Sponsor a child through Compassion or World Vision
- Help out in a soup kitchen
- Volunteer and be a friend to a woman who is in prison
- Help with VBS
- Invite a family or friend over for dinner who is new to your area or church…….give them the gift of your friendship
- The ways that you can help out are numerous…..just ask God to open your eyes so that you can see the needs around you, your home, your neighborhood, your church, your community and then put your faith into action and meet that need!
