January 31, 2023 - Proverbs 31:13-14, 17-18, 20-21, 24-26

“She searches out continually to possess that which is pure and righteous. She delights in the work of her hands. She gives out revelation-truth to feed others. She is like a trading ship bringing divine supplies from the merchant. She wraps herself in strength, might, and power in all her works. She tastes and experiences a better substance, and her shining light will not be extinguished, no matter how dark the night. She is known by her extravagant generosity to the poor, for she always reaches out her hands to those in need. She is not afraid of tribulation, for all her household is covered in the dual garments of righteousness and grace. Even her works of righteousness she does for the benefit of her enemies. Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around her as she laughs with joy over the latter days. Her teachings are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving instruction pours from her lips.” Proverbs 31:13-14, 17-18, 20-21, 24-26 TPT

Lord, I am really challenged in my walk with you as I read this passage. There are areas I want to grow in to be more like the woman described here. Make us pure and righteous. Help us live in a way that we’re continually purifying ourselves from unrighteousness. Help us be diligent to work hard to search out your revelation-truth so we can feed it to others. Help us always be generous to those in need, even our enemies. Please wrap us in your strength, might, and power. Let them hold us up no matter what we face. Lord, we want you to be the substance we live off of and that fills us up. Let your presence always radiate out of us like a pure light that lights up the night and can’t be extinguished. We don’t want to fear the darkness or tribulation, because we are confident you will carry us through. Let us be filled with joy, wisdom, love, and kindness no matter what we face.

In Jesus name, amen.
