"She equips herself with strength (spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task) and makes her arms strong." Provers 31:17 AMP
"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future" Proverbs 31:25 NLT
"Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure, and she smiles at the future (knowing that she and her family are prepared)." Proverbs 31:25 AMP
The rhythm of peace within my heart was interrupted when fear of the future began to creep in and distract me to a place I have not yet arrived.
When my heart was overwhelmed, the Holy Spirit spoke this to me loud and clear "she laughs without fear of the future." The Proverbs 31 woman is confident not based on her ability but Christ's ability. When talking on the subject of marriage a man usually says "I found my Proverbs 31 woman", but why? Because in that very moment, the bride to be has been built, trained, prepared to be a wife and a mother that will take care of her household.
To all my ladies out there; smile, laugh, relax, and enjoy life because God will give you the grace needed for the days, weeks, months, and years ahead of you. Allow God to build you now and expand your capacity.
Our Heavenly Father is so perfect. He will never give His children (you & me) more than you can bear. The Proverbs 31 woman is a wife and mother but most likely has other responsibilities such as a job, business (or both), and serving in ministry.
I want to encourage you...
Don't allow what's ahead of you to scare you but prepare you to be all who God has called you to be. Never assume or conclude on something you have not experienced or walked into. Remember not to compare with your neighbor. The season you are in is to prepare you for what's next and the truth is that we are all growing and developing at different paces. Just because you see someone ahead of you does not dismiss that there is something great ahead for you too. Keep your eyes and mind focused on Jesus, He is the one that will take you to where you need to be.
“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].”
Isaiah 26:3 AMP
The level of grace we have are different, if you see your friend that is functioning as a wife, mom of 3, runs 2 business, and has a ministry does not mean the wife and stay at home mother is any less. Ensure you are faithful to what God has entrusted into your hands. Remember also that God deals with us according to seasons! Roles and responsibilities change and shift based on current demands. The wife and stay at home mother may one day after 5 years begin her ministry in something else, (also doesn't neglect her family responsibilities) this means at a particular time her children were her main responsibility and now God wants to entrust her with more.
You may be in an awkward season right now knowing there is more God has shown you about your destiny. Patience is key: If you are not seeing those things manifest now it may mean a couple of the following...
It's not time
“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven—”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMP
God is developing you before you walk into your purpose or assignment
You are not yet mature to handle the assignment so God is in the process of refining you
Dear sister,
God has Graced you right now in this season and more grace will be released when the time comes. You are clothed with dignity and strength for your God given destiny.
