The excellent woman strives to reflect the excellence of her Father God. I’m not talking about being perfect in that we never sin or fail, but rather that we strive to have a heart after God’s heart. This is how we reflect Him on the earth. This is why He will reward our faith.
“The Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness is with their children’s children — with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.” Psalms 103:17-18
The growing hatred for ‘godliness’ is something we need to ‘faithfully’ ignore and just simply ‘follow through’ living for the Lord boldly, peacefully and joyfully. You don’t need to fear the opinions of the ungodly or to succumb to the threats of the wicked because “greater is HE who is within us than he that is in the world.”
God does not reward cowards. He who is seated on the Throne says, “I am making everything new!” “Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:5, 7-8
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised. For, ‘in just a little while, He who is coming will come and will not delay.’ ‘But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back. But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.’” Hebrews 10:36-39
“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6
“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.” 1 John 2:1
God will hold you and your family up if you will do your best to obey His instructions and trust in His promises.
There’s only one reason why a child grows up to praise and honor his/her mother. It’s the sum of all the many [mostly little] things she eagerly and lovingly did for them, as well as for their father, in making their home the best place on earth they had ever been. Even the friends of her husband and children look forward to being in the home of this woman.
Never forget how important your home is, how others see you serve and esteem your husband and children, making all guests feel welcomed and blessed to be in your home and in your presence. The home of the just is a safe place because God is loved and honored there.
“A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” Proverbs 31:30-31
