At first glance, a look at the “Proverbs 31 woman” seems beyond us all, whether male or female. But the teachings of Proverbs are godly wisdom, passed down from fathers and mothers to their sons and daughters. What can each of us learn, even from ancient tasks and trades, that apply to and benefit our lives today?

Life has a way of getting messy. Sometimes, circumstances overtake us or people get in the way of our plans. Occasionally, we are in a certain situation because of our own bad choices and actions. When we are dealing with a crisis, what we do and where we turn amid the trouble can determine how it is resolved. Jonah, in the middle of a mess of his own making, turned his heart back to God for rescue. We can turn to God, no matter what circumstances are surrounding us.

Money. We build our lives based on how much we have and what we can get. However, God reminds us in His Word that how we use money influences our relationship with Him and others. Besides, He has every resource and provides what we need. How can we declutter our finances and declutter our wrong priorities while we still live in a rat race, material-focused culture?

How you spend your time really matters, whether good, bad or wasted. If we want to add value and honor God, we need to start by evaluating our schedules.

The relationships we already have really, really matter, whether for good or bad. If we want to add value and strengthen our relationships, we need to start with what we say or don’t say. The words we speak can injure, tear down, and destroy. However, they also have the power to heal, build up, and empower.
