S- Proverbs 31:27 "She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."
Proverbs 13:1 "A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a mocker does not respond to rebukes."
O- She knows the needs of her household. She does not sit idle.
A- I need to pay close attention to the needs of each member of my family. I need to be aware of the times I am sitting idle and not being productive. I need to be a good influence for my family.
P- Thank you God, for allowing me to have an influence in my family. I pray that I would follow your lead and that my ways influence my family well. Help me to know when I am sitting idle. Help me to be productive and manage my home well, but also to know when to rest and not over do it. Thank you for blessing us with a home to protect us from the weather. Thank you for all we have that fills our home and our needs. Thank you for being my Provider.

2. What does she watch over? “the affairs (or ways)” What are your family’s ways? What
are their habits and routines? Are they healthy? Are they glorifying to God? Is everyone
getting their rest, getting time in the Word of God, getting enough tender listening time,
love and affection, enough exercise and healthy food? What are your family’s ways?
You shape the ways of the home by your influence.
3. Whose ways does she watch? “her household” Let me reiterate -she is thinking of her
household first. She is not thinking about pleasing her boss, pleasing her mother-in-law,
or meddling in others business. She is focused on her household because she
understands and embraces the powerful role she plays in the home.
I want to encourage you, do not grow idle in your mundane tasks. Manage your time,
family and home well. Mundane tasks are the hidden treasure to creating a home that is
a haven. Watch over the ways of your family.

When we take our eyes off glorifying God and off our family’s needs, we can be tempted by what we see. When we start paying more attention to what “She” is doing or what “She” has…..we open the door to jealously and discontentment. Even in our “downtime” let’s make sure it’s productive and feeding our minds, hearts and souls well! Read an inspiring book, take time to call a friend on the phone and encourage her, or make something with your hands that you enjoy and that can bless your family or those outside your home!
Week 10 Challenge: Make sure to spend time together around the table this week and ask each member their “High” and “Low” for the day…..spend time discussing what each person shares. Also, pay attention to how you spend your down time….is what you’re watching, reading, listening to helping your walk with Christ or hurting it? Are you growing in wisdom because of how you’re spending your time?
