Lady Wisdom Teach Us How to Act “He wrote them to teach his people how to live- how to act in every circumstance, for he wanted them to be understanding, just and fair in everything they did.” Proverbs 1:2, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “How do you react to life?” Many people are wondering how to act concerning different situations in their lives. We are confronted with these choices. Do I make a left turn or a right? What will I encounter along the way?

He wanted those in his kingdom that were wise to be wiser and help lead the country. I think that you would agree that we need some wise people in our country today. Some of the decisions that have been made have not benefited everyone nor helped us to prosper as a nation. I believe that women can make a difference in their communities.

Is beauty more than a thing of the senses? What makes something beautiful to one person but unattractive to another? These questions speak to the cultural and socialization of a person. Our society has defined feminine beauty based on one’s outward appearance. It has tried to control what is considered beautiful in order to control the emotional state of women. We do not appreciate our just “being”. It is almost based on our ability to conform to what the beauty industry has defined for us. In the book of Proverbs, beauty is defined by “a woman who fears and reverences God…Praise her for the many fine things she does. These
