Call Her Blessed

 

Call Her Blessed

 

Call her blessed

To fold her weakness in God’s strength

Then forge ahead through day and night

Breaking through the fallow ground

Yoked to Christ her true joy found

 

Call her blessed

To hide herself in robes of grace--

A putting off self to seek God’s face

And through His eyes she comes to know

That loving others will help her grow

 

Call her blessed

To yield her tongue to the Spirit’s control

Kindness she has made her goal

In her heart God’s Word abides

With these her family edified

 

Call her blessed

To trust the Lord—live in His fear

Her Heavenly citizenship written clear

She gives her all—her very best

To seek for others Home’s true rest

Lessons from the Virtuous Woman

Proverbs 31:10-31

 

1.      She actively seeks to do good

2.      She works with a good attitude

3.      She gives—meeting needs

4.      She is a self-starter—she strengtheneth herself—she chooses not to be a burden to those around her, but casts her cares on God. She walks with God.  Psalms 28:7

5.      She prepares for the future

6.      She builds her husband’s reputation—she will not tear him down in front of others, but always point out his strengths.

7.      She is willing to work/suffer today for the benefit of a future reward. She develops patience

8.      She allows God’s Word to control her tongue. She is so familiar with God’s Word that her speaking reflects it.

9.      Her home is the primary focus. She is willing to serve in a small sphere. She recognizes that God uses the family unit at home and at church. She leads by example.

10.   Her underlying desire is to please God in everything. She fears the Lord—and loves Him with all of her heart.

 

Blessed does not mean that everything is wonderful—not always flowers and music! To be blessed is to demonstrate a level and balanced life. It is one that is content and happy with the provision of God. True blessedness meets the needs of others and leads them to live a life of blessedness. This kind of a living will prosper in true spiritual riches.
