Proverbs 31 woman - Post 11

Day 11 – Prov 31:20

"She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hand to the needy."
- (New King James Version)

Today's virtue: kindness. The verse is very simple; there is no need for decoding it's hidden mysteries. It simply tells us to help the poor and the needy. But many of us look at the verse and, though we agree, we do little to act on its admonition.

It's understandable to get caught up in our daily tasks and duties that we let the simple things like this slip by. Check your definition of poor and needy. Poor means deficient - in what is up to you. Needy means to be in need.

Maybe it's a hand of friendship that you can extend to the downtrodden. Maybe it's advice you can share with a youngster who has no one to look up to. Maybe it's a small prayer you can say for a sick woman who has no believers in her household. Maybe it's a word of thanks to someone working a twelve-hour shift with an unappreciative boss. There's so many things that can be done. What can you do today?

showcase your true beauty.

God Bless,
