Proverbs 31:21 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“She is not afraid of the snow for her household: For all her household are clothed with scarlet.” (Proverbs 31:21 KJV)

This passage tells me - this woman of diligence and virtue, like the ants, is busy in summer preparing for winter. For her, what matters is, not knowing what's coming, but preparing for what's needed for what's coming. Fearless, she's ready for the cold snowy days. She is not content of merely meeting the need, but provide for the need with excellence and style. She's not just covering her family with raw wool sheets to keep them warm, but clothe them in class and royalty quality with scarlet vogue.

This is an alert cookie in our daily surf through life (so to speak) to stay set for the penultimate season coming. We are to be ready in season and out of season. We have to do the drill. This woman's example is a metaphor for the most crucial time soon to come. The onset of seasons is settled. But, we do not know the exact time, though we are aware and expect its coming. The more so the glorious return of the Son of God, Christ Jesus our Lord. Regular dry runs in the changing seasons of this life trains and keeps us awake, so as not to be caught off guard when our Lord comes in glory.

Hence, we are to be prepared and ready with royal spiritual attire, like the ideal wife prepares clothes for winter, to welcome our Lord the King of kings. We must stay in the know, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus we are a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9). Learning from the example of this ideal woman, let us be reminded with these words: “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Matthew 24:42-44 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
