Proverbs 31:20 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.” (Proverbs 31:20 KJV)

She is generous, this woman of virtue king Lemuel's mother is fostering. She is strong. She is full of talents. She's indeed trustworthy and rare, edifies her husband, a crafter and apparel designer and seamstress, a merchant and a vine dresser,...and a true giver at heart. This is a woman of every man's dream, she is. Selfless and generous, she looks to the destitute and the needy. She is a woman that can be seen nowhere else but abiding in God's grace. And, she can be found only by a man who looks through the eyes of grace by faith in Christ Jesus.

Her hands work in tandem with her heart. Dependent on grace, not on self-effort, her compassion is expressed in action. She sees the need. She fills it. Her good stewardship over her household is spilled out beyond home on to her circle of influence and proximity. She takes to heart the Words of Christ Jesus: "freely you have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8b). She responds to calls of service, being steward of God's gift of grace, as it is written: “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:10-11 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
