October Reflections on Proverbs 31: Day 11 & 12, Verses 11 & 12

11 "Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of his life."

Don't you love it when you can count on someone? It's hard to come by for sure! Remember the dreaded group projects in school? I guarantee there was at least one or two people in every group who relied on the rest of the crew to carry their load. 

Remember the other day when we said that noble character is not forced but it flows from the grace that we find in God? A woman of noble character can be found faithful. 

Faithfulness: one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 6:22). As you live out of the overflow of God's grace in your life others around us will reap a harvest of blessing. The Holy Spirit produces His character traits in you; His own faithfulness born of His Spirit. His goodness will follow you all the days of your life (Psalm 23:6). And all our husbands say, "Amen!"

As much as this is specific to a husband-wife, I can't help parallel this to our Heavenly Bridegroom, Jesus. He believes those things about His bride Whom He loves as well. 

God says you are capable, daughter of the King, because of His Spirit at work in your life (Titus 3:3-7). His grace for you is more than enough (2 Corinthians 12:19). And He has plans to "prosper and not to harm you" all the days of your life (Jeremiah 29:11). 

Come into the grace of God and live out of the overflow of His Spirit at work in your life. Those around us will be blessed beyond measure by the spiritual fruit of faithfulness in our homes.
