Lady Wisdom Speaks(TM)

Proverbs 31 Woman Proverbs 31:10-31 describes what a woman who follows the ways of wisdom looks like. Her noble characteristics are demonstrated in her work ethic and her daily living. She starts off her day early in the morning reverencing and communing with God in prayer. Time is valuable to her. Her life is centered on the people who mean the most to her, her family but she also considers the needs of the community and her nation.

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity.
