Proverbs 31:16-17 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“She considereth a field, and buyeth it: With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, And strengtheneth her arms.” (Proverbs 31:16-17 KJV)

These passages reflect a picture of a woman who does not stay idle. This ideal woman is on the move, a woman of acumen and action. Contrary to the belief that puts women in a weaker category, we are shown here a woman in the right and true paradigm - a person of strength. She is a shrewd enterprising farmer, a vine dresser, who is prayerful and deliberate in considering opportunities placed before her, to buy a field for sowing and reaping.

She is a woman who is not afraid to transform a field into a vineyard by her hands, with the noble goal to harvest fresh fruits for her household. With loins girded in strength and arms bolstered with power and with adrenaline oozing, her effort is not for greed but for the lofty desire to ensure her household will not be in want. She is a woman who considers lessons from the diligence of the ants. She is worthy to emulate, as we rest in the grace of God by faith in Christ Jesus, reflecting upon the promise of His Words. We are to take hold on this declaration of truth, as it is written, “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
