The Wise Woman Builds

I share with you today the story of a woman, who can be you, your wife, your sister, a friend, please come along with me and enjoy going through this piece like I did when I was told the Story. So many lessons to learn, for everyone!

She felt hurt, wounded and disappointed by her trusted friend whom had pledged to be with her for the rest of her life before hundreds of people.

She could not imagine what her next line of action would be. Thoughts flooded her mind, questions poked her heart. How did I get here? She asked herself. How did I get into this situation? I thought I had it all figured out in the beginning. I never bargained for this.

After the argument yesterday I felt like throwing in the towel. It just seemed like this is never going to work, for the past 2 years it has just be one argument or the other. I try to explain myself but it seems I use the wrong words. I am just tired.

She was tired, tired of fighting, with this state of mind she decided to take her mind off the troubles of the world and enter into the only world she had always known nothing but security. She took her Bible and opened without necessarily looking for any passage and her eyes caught the passage ‘A wise woman builds her house and a foolish woman tears it down with her hands’

In her place of escape …

She Speaks…

My Lord what are you saying? A wise woman builds? Lord what do I have in my hands to build with? What is even there to build?

He Speaks…

And He answered; even the dry bones shall rise again! A wise woman builds because she has faith in her Lord. She believes His word that ‘He makes all things work together for the good of them that love Him and are called  work according to His  purpose’, ‘He restores wasted year, that the canker worm and the caterpillars have eaten’, He brings back all the glories that have been taken away.

A wise woman builds because she is a selfless one who understands that loves keeps no record of wrongs, she has communed with her Lord long enough to live out the words of her master who says, for my own sake I will not remember your sins, as far as the east is from the west I have taken your sins away from you. Love forgives, Love is not jealous, Love does not rejoice at the fall of another, Love never fails…

A wise woman does the right thing even when it seems like the most foolish thing to do; she takes in the scorn of friends, family and foes just the get to the mark (A marriage that works and continuously glorifies God).

She does not take responsibility for another person’s wrong but she tries to correct the wrong. She covers her husband’s shortcomings. She is like Abigail who acknowledged her husbands folly and acted to cover him. She is like Zipporah who knew what her husband did wrong and immediately takes action to save her family. She is that person who answers to the calling for a man to stand in the gap.

She Speaks…

Oh Lord this is a lot; can I really do all this?

He Speaks…

Yes you can, my grace is Sufficient for thee.

I know God is speaking to someone, please listen and hang in there.

God Bless
