    Proverbs 31: 10-31 The Proverbs Woman

    I was raised by this passage of scriptures. This is and

    always has been my moms favorite passage of scriptures

    and she taught it to me in word and actions every day of

    my life. I heard these scriptures so much in my life that I

    can still to this day recite them word for word from

    memory. The proverbs woman is a hard example to liveup to.

    Chapter One

    I thought I was the perfect proverbs woman years

    ago when I received a very loud awakening from God

    when my daughter was a toddler. Personally, I like to

    have the religious channel playing on the television while

    I work, so I can listen to preaching and praise throughout

    the day. This one particular day I was going about my day

    cooking, cleaning and taking care of my daughter.

    The first program started and the preacher was

    talking about showing respect to your husband.

    I already respected my husband so I tuned it out.

    The next program started and this sermon was once

    again talking about how important it is to show respect

    to your husband. Humph, I thought maybe they have a

    theme their using on todays programming.

    Several programs and several hours later they were

    still talking about respecting your husband. I looked up

    and said Lord I know you use different ways to get

    through to people but it has been six hours, this woman

    must be really thickheaded You know that small, still

    voice people talk about when God speaks to them? Let

    me tell you, I dont. The Voice I heard was very loud and

    answered Yes she is very thick headed okay at this

    point I wasnt sure what to make of this. He could not

    possibly be talking to me! After a few minutes I began to

    argue with God (by the way, you cant win an argument

    with God) I responded with, I always treat my husband

    with respect. This argument continued through the rest

    of my day and well into the night. I then informed God

    that when Vince came home I would ask him if he

    thought I have ever been disrespectful. I was going to

    prove God wrong.

    We sat down to dinner later that night and I told

    my husband about my day, about all the

    programming. The whole time he was smiling. I then

    told him about my argument with God and I asked

    him if he thought I was disrespectful toward him.Waiting for an of course not, you are a wonderful

    wife. Instead I got this, do you want an honest

    answer.

    What! I couldnt believe this! Sometimes when you

    are being sarcastic it comes across as beingdisrespectful he said. I was sure I was being gained up

    on, and in no way had I ever been disrespectful toward

    my husband.

    I vowed to pay very careful attention to everything I

    said and how I said it. Talk about conviction, I didnt

    make it through the night without catching myself with a

    sarcastic tone. I monitored this for a couple weeks and

    realized just how often I was doing this. It has been a

    hard road and I am still very careful to watch both my

    attitude and my mouth every day. I will admit it has

    been a struggle but it has improved my relationship with

    the Lord and with my husband. Respecting my husband

    more has made our relationship stronger.

    These scriptures have taught me many things. A

    Proverbs woman takes care of her family and her

    home without complaining. A proverbs woman is the

    first one up and the last one to bed every day. Aproverbs woman lends her hand to the less

    fortunate. A proverbs woman is strong, encouraging,

    she does not waste time, and she is hard-working,

    wise, joyful, respectful and compassionate.
