She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. (Prov. 31:17, NKJV now and throughout.) The VW didn’t have a gym membership, but she wasn’t afraid of work. Activities, tasks, chores, work and more work didn’t scare her. She didn’t shirk or shrink back from work. No, instead, it strengthened Read more
She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. (Prov. 31:13, NKJV now and throughout.) This woman stays busy with her hands. She is always working on a project. She is industrious. Pursuing sources that have wool and flax, animal and plant fibers that comprise clothing, drapery, household Read more
I have been over this passage (Prov. 31:10-31) countless times, but this time I’m combing over it with scrutiny. I am convinced that there are clues here – hiding in plain sight – that tell us about her and our task is to find it! Who can find a virtuous Read more
Last week I suggested the preposterous idea that virtuous womanhood could be achieved with a planner. Obnoxious idea? I don’t know. She has eluded me all these years. I’m not getting any younger, so my next major goal is to conquer the ideal virtuous woman (VW) and then share her Read more

When life is falling apart around me, it’s so easy to complain and feel sorry for myself. It’s easier to gripe and resent than to praise Yahweh and look for the blessings. Who wants to do that??? And why? Well, there is a method, really a cycle. We know it Read more
“Blessed are the poor is spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 5:3) Poor in spirit. I used to think that meant poor in spirit so poor in the physical realm. The blind. The deaf. The lame. Not so. Poor. Pauper. Public beggar. So poor that they can Read more
We all know that Yahweh provides. He provides the weather. The shelter. The opportunities. The food. The blessings. And whatever else we can think of. He also provides stamina. Strength. Peace.
