A Godly Woman Shall Be Praised

Scripture:

Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!” Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. (Proverbs 31:28-30 NLT)

Devotion:

With Mother’s Day just past, let’s take a look at what the Bible says about wives and mothers. Today’s scripture is a small portion of Proverbs 31, which has long been considered the “godly woman chapter” in the Bible.

Reading through the whole chapter might make the job of a godly woman seem overwhelming. This lady is perfect—Who can live up to such an ideal? She is wise, kind, virtuous, capable, trustworthy, loving, giving, helpful, encouraging, energetic, a doer of good deeds, and gets up before dawn, working far into the night to take care of her household and business.

While these are all wonderful attributes for wives and moms (and the rest of us) to attain, thank God for the encouraging words at the end of this chapter as shown in the scripture above. The real key is to “fear the Lord” — to honor and hold Him in reverence. When you put Christ first and He becomes the “Author and Finisher of your faith” and the center of everything you do, you will have all the faith, strength, creativity, wisdom and energy you need to be the woman God created you to be. The Lord will honor you — and so will your husband, children, extended family, friends and everyone you meet!

Prayer:

Lord, I thank you for godly women everywhere—wives, moms, grandmothers, daughters, aunts, nieces and friends. Bless these hard-working, compassionate and devoted ladies to care for their families and other responsibilities with faithfulness, love and wisdom according to Your Word. Grant them the desires of their heart as they trust in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Offering Confession of Faith

According to: Deuteronomy 8:28 / 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 / Luke 6:38 / Hebrews 1:14

Shout unto to God it is time to give! We are workers together with Him!

I will remember the Lord my God, for it is He who gives me power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant in the earth.

This is why I am a cheerful giver and it is given to me to the point of overflowing! Because I invest bountifully I receive bountifully and I have abundance to give for every good work!

So Father, according to Your Word this is my investment in the kingdom of God, therefore angels go now and bring in my return on my investment .

Increase, promotions, wealth and riches for I call those that be not as though they were, therefore I call myself a millionaire! I am a millionaire for this is my confession of faith.

In Jesus’ Name – Amen

Casting Your Bread!

According to: Ecclesiastes 11:1

Give, it will be given to you, press down and shaken together.

Believe and know the Word is true, with your faith God will be pleased.

Just know that when you cast your seed it will spring up on every hill.

So get ready, get ready, release your faith and with gladness prepare to give.

Casting your bread on the water, casting your bread on the water.

And in many days, on every wave it will overtake you!
