Friday! Proverbs!
We're in Prov 16, and the next 3 proverbs, 29-30, are all about the sin that lurks in our hearts, and in our world. It's all there, gossip, leading others astray, the violent and the deceptive.
Read them as they're instructive, but I'd rather focus on one word from Proverbs 31 today...it's a word translated noble, or excellent in v 10 & 29 to describe the Prov 31 woman's character and actions.
However that word, "ha-yil" is a word that means "army", strength, power, it describes a valiant woman.
Courage, strength & valour in the Bible are not the domain of men only, but are also found in the heart and deeds of valiant women.
Maybe you know someone who shows courage and strength in adversity, who is doing good work, who could do with hearing a blessing or thanks from you today.
Or maybe there's someone who needs encouragement to see the valiant person within that you see.
Maybe it's your wife, mum, sister, daughter, friend, flatmate, school mate...
Let them know today!
