Invest In Yourself

~Isaiah 54:2-3~

"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes, for you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left."

We've read that a Proverbs 31 woman makes coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry for herself.  She's known to have lived a well-balanced life.  She did a lot for others, but she also took time to minister to herself.

 As busy women, we sometimes burn out because we don't take time out to refresh ourselves.  Women need to be ministered to spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.  Each area is important to God; He made them and He is interested in our physical and emotional needs.

 Our Proverbs 31 woman clothing were made of the same cloth that the priests wore.  In other words, she had really nice stuff.  We as women feel more confident when we look our best and take good care of ourselves.  In my Joyce Meyer's voice, "you are worth being cared for and don't ever forget it.  You have value, and you should make an investment in yourself."

Three Problem People

In the book of proverbs it talks about three problem people.  Mockers, fools and the simple.  These words are used to describe the bad characters we should avoid.  Here's a description of each one.

1. The "Simple"; are the least harmful group; they live without thinking and are too lazy to change.
2. The "Fools"; have more smarts but have made a conscious decision to live by their own lights, independent of God and independent of good advice.
3. The "Mockers"; worst of all, are rebels against God who make their prideful position known to everyone. They mock God, but God will mock them in the end.

~Proverbs 1:22~ "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?  How long will mocker delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?"

~Proverbs 1:26~ " I in turn will laugh at your disaster; I will mock when calamity overtakes you."

AMEN....

The Fear of the Lord

Many of you may think the phrase "fear of the Lord" means fright or terror, well it doesn't.  It means "having a good relationship with God," based on reverence and respect for him and his commands.

In this passage below, it means righteous living.

~Proverbs 8:13 says, "To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech."

Benefits of Wisdom

~Proverbs 3:1-5~
My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.  Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.  Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Remember to; "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding".

Amen....
