From Hearts to Hands

I hope you have been encouraged so far as we walk through Proverbs 31. It's not so much the things that we do as our hearts that matter. Our noble character, our husband's full confidence in us, and our desire to bring our husbands good are much more meaningful than a clean house and a gourmet meal.

However, a wife who demonstrates noble character, has her husband's confidence, and wants to bring him good ALL the days of her life, will show these things in very practical ways.

We are about to jump into those verses head on. Before we begin, I want to encourage you to continue looking at this woman's heart. Many of the verses will comment on both a practical action and an attitude of the heart. Keep both in mind.

Also, don't become discouraged if it talks about some skill that you don't do well. The Proverbs 31 woman is an incredible seamstress. You may not be. I certainly am not. I took 2 courses in high school. I passed them both, but I'm not sure how. I don't have the precision or dexterity to sew well. The fact that I don't sew my family's clothes isn't the issue. They are clothed. And that is important. : )

I invite you to join me as we continue along in Proverbs 31- looking at how our hearts will cultivate practical actions to build a happy home.
