Proverbs 31: 31 – Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.
People can talk and write about her but she’ll only be worthy of praise when she has finally touched your life… her own works will bring her praise.
You can’t ever fully become this V-Woman if all you do is within your own reach. You may be a great mother, perfect wife, and extraordinary daughter, but if you don’t reach out to others outside your own little world, you’ll still be as ordinary as a woman can be.
Let’s consider what the Lord Jesus said about this: “Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit down to eat’? Would he not rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’? Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’ †Luke 17:10
All that you do at home, at work, in school, or in church is basically already expected of you. If you do it well, you’re just doing what you’re supposed to do. But when you do that AND you reach out to others while you’re at it, THEN you’re doing more than what you’re asked to. THEN you’re coming out of your comfort zone. THEN you’re starting to make a difference in the world outside your own.
This blondie on the left is Leah, a pastor’s wife currently living in Dallas. She started working with a group of young women back when she was in the Austin church, discipling them to be women of God. She was never told to do that, it was from her own desire to see God glorified among the people in her church. Austin is the church that has the most Sisterhood candidates in the state of Texas.
The other blondie on the right is Eunice. She arrived in the UK without a word of English and you’d think she’d wait until she could express herself before starting to do anything there… she didn’t. Not caring about her position as a pastor’s wife, she immediately got herself an assistant’s uniform and began to work in meetings that hardly any pastor’s wife attended. She’d speak to people without a word of English (don’t ask!).
The pink elegant lady on the right is Ima, she’s currently working in New York and though she has two small children, she’s always involved in evangelization work. She evangelizes in the subways and is many times ridiculed by people, nevertheless, she keeps on doing it, she keeps on sowing her many fruitful seeds.
Their own work praise them...SMILE
