Following Her Godly Pattern

We hope you have not only been enjoying the summer break, but also pursuing and growing in your relationship with your Father just as we have seen the Proverbs 31 woman did in her life.  We never want or encourage anyone to take a "vacation" away from this portion of our life.

  As we have seen in our study so far, this beautiful lady developed a passionate life vision, she made time for family, friends, and God.  In addition, she endeavored to improve life management skills while keeping her sights on God's plan for her.  She tended to the fires of her heart and her home.  God has placed this pattern within His Word as a pattern for each of us to follow.  It is not a journey we need to travel alone, but the Creator God works these qualities in us as we remain on His potter's wheel.  In addition, each one traveling with us are sources of encouragement as well...that is why we do not forsake the assembling of ourselves together as the Scripture exhorts us to do.

Just as Jesus declared for His own life...His meat was to do the will of Him who sent Him and to finish the work (John 4:32), we are to do this as well.  Within the pattern of the Proverbs 31 woman we see this pattern for us as well. No matter our "arena" of life, we are to do the will of Him who has a work for His women (married or single).  As we allow the Lord Jesus to work His pattern/lifestyle within us, the encouragement is to go for and pursue after the "meat" of His Word...the "food" which endures to everlasting life (John 6:27).  It is a necessary ingredient which helps us to grow into and arrive at that finished pattern.

In 4 weeks (August 4th), we will pick up on the Proverbs 31 vision...a field of dreams.  As you read over this chapter and meditate on the various Scriptures how does her field of dreams compare with yours?  We'll be ready and anxious to hear from each of you.  See you Thursday August 4th @ 6:30 p.m. in the Lodge.
