Future disciple-Proverbs 31

November 19, 2017

Dear Future disciple, 

Not the one in me yesterday, 

Not the one in me now,

But the one in me tomorrow. 

The one in me the day after that, and twenty years from now. 

Remember... 

She shall bring "...good, not harm, all of the days of her life" for him. 

She shall work so "Her husband has full confidence in her".

Love she shall project. 

She shall "...open her arms to the poor and extend her hands to the needy". 

For she is just as weak, but finds strength through Him to give to them.

And it is through Him that she will use that strength to extend.

Sanctury she shall provide.  

Herself she shall respect for He has made her "..worth far more than rubies".

"She is closed with strength and dignity", His strength and His dignity.

By His joy she will laugh in the face of fear. 

By His foot she will stomp on the ones who oppress her, 

and the ones to whom she cares for as if they were herself or her own. 

Through Confidence she will prevail. 

And through life, she will glorify.
