Proverbs 31:19-20

Women are changing the world. We’re breaking barriers in the marketplace and stepping into leadership roles that are redefining our culture. The words of Proverbs 31 formulate a beautiful and timeless poem about a woman on a mission with God-inspired characteristics. She demonstrates the qualities that are God honoring in the areas of work, faith and family. Let’s learn what it takes to be women filled with strength and dignity.

When God’s people fall and need a helping hand, our Saviour is quick to respond and set them on their feet again. A word of encouragement, a moments time, and a heart of love and compassion are the key ingredients for a healing balm. We are called to be faithful, not judgemental. Let us be merciful, for we too have received mercy.

Common sense might suggest that God couldn’t possibly care about the five loads of washing you have to do, the email you need to respond to, or the burst pipe you’re about to fix. But what if He does? In this plan, Mark Greene explores what the Bible says about why your work – paid or unpaid, in an office, in a factory, or at home – really matters to God.

God made marriage, and He made it to be good. Since all husbands and wives are sinners, no marriage lives up to the fullness of God’s design. Yet if we want to experience blessing in marriage, the first thing is to recognize who made it. We would be foolish to ignore the instruction of God’s Word when it comes to life with our husbands or our wives.
