Anticipation

What do you do when you are preparing to be with God? Do you just say "Here I am. Take me as I am." That's OK. Or do you take time to prepare your heart? Do you examine your heart and confess your sin? Do you have a special place that you go to be free from distractions? Remember, nothing that you do makes you more acceptable to God - Jesus did that for you. But there is much you can do to make yourself ready to receive what He has to offer. The lover of your soul awaits you, dear reader. Are you ready for Him?

Leave A Light On

Again we see that the excellent wife is a hard worker and a careful planner. I am reminded of the parable of the virgins waiting for the bridegroom. Some of them don't have enough oil for their lamps and they miss the arrival of the bridegroom because they ran out of oil and had to go buy more. The excellent wife is like those virgins who were prepared and had enough oil. Are you prepared for the Bridegroom's coming?

Good Morning

How early do you roll out of bed? What do you do when you get up? The excellent wife is an early riser. In the da park of the early morning hours she knows that she can get things done. She probably takes care of herself first and then she starts to prepare for the day. She makes sure that her household's needs are taken care of - before they need it. When the rest of the household awakens, she is ready for them. How excellent is that?
