Prayer Encouragement: "A Good Busy" by SkyMom, Terrie Chevaillier

A Good Busy

She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
²⁹ “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”  Proverbs 31: 27-29

We have been looking at Proverbs 31 to 

get a picture of what God’s Word says

about a Godly woman, wife, and mother.

Keeping in mind that there are do overs and much grace…

these passages give us a filter to run through in regards to

how we might be living out in our homes what we profess.

A Godly character…it causes us to become a 

sweet fragrance in our homes and our community.

Let’s pray God’s Word:

Dear Father, thank you that I do not have to go at 

these roles by just guessing what the standard might be.

You have provided a beautiful passage in Your Word that

Encourages me to become all that You have created me to be

and Your Word gives me great insight in my day in and day out living.

Please show me where I am not watching over the affairs of my household.

Am I too distracted by unproductive things or commitments that pull 

my watchful eye away from my home and family.

Help me to see where I am eating the bread of idleness.

Is it time on the computer or in front of the TV

or just not using my time wisely?

It grieves me to think my family might be suffering 

indirectly from my idleness.

Your Word says that when I watch over my household 

with love, diligent work, and caring concern

that my  children

and husband will respond to those things in positive ways.

Thank you that when I am obedient to Your Word

I can expect to see a good response from those in my home.

Even when they do not say anything or notice,

let it be enough that I know You see and will bless my efforts.

Amen
