What Are You Wearing?

Greetings J

Proverbs 31:25 “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future.”

Thank you all for your responses to yesterday’s DEVO; I feel so blessed to know that we are all on this journey together!

One of you sweet souls replied: “My son is leaving, and it is a huge change.  I have been praying since May for God to do what’s best for him even though I want him to stay.  Just this past Friday he got accepted at school, so I am taking this as God’s will.  There has to be a reason why he shouldn’t be in Miami.  Only He knows…”

These brief sentences contain so much truth and wisdom.

Truth number one: Like it or not, change happens.

Truth number two: The best course of action is to pray about a situation, opportunity, or problem the minute it shows up because when we do that, we can confidently say, “This is God’s will; He’s in control.” 

Truth number three: Even though we sometimes don’t want the change to happen, it is wise to put God’s will, which is God’s best, ahead of our own desires.

This response is from a woman just like the one in today's verse.   

She is clothed in strength and dignity because it takes guts and grace, backbone and character to be a parent to your child.  And she smiles because she knows that no matter what the future holds, God is holding her son by the hand.  She ought to know; she put him there!

I wonder if her family knows what a precious wife and mom she is?

Wait a minute! Yes they do!

Proverbs 31:28 ”Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

I want to wear what she's wearing, and it starts with prayer.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are teaching us so much, and we are grateful.  Thank you for answering our prayers.  We put ourselves and those we love into Your capable hands.  In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
