Home-Sweet-Home

Proverbs 14:1- “The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.”

Proverbs 24:3-4- “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”

Proverbs 31:27- “She looks well to the way of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.”

Titus 2:3-5- “Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands so that the word of God may not be reviled.”

Like the instruction in Titus 2 said, women are to teach one another how to take care of their homes. So, if you need help, go get it. Ask for it. Whether that assistance comes from your mom or someone else, seek help in this vital area of being a woman after God’s own heart.

“Let me encourage each of you to embrace your mother’s domestic teaching. Allow her to probe your heart and direct your affection toward the home. And take it one step further. Appoint yourself as your mom’s homemaking assistant. In addition to your assigned chores, be on the lookout for practical ways you can shoulder more of her homemaking responsibilities. In doing so, you will not only receive vital training for your future mission, but you will honor God by expressing your femininity today.” –Carolyn Mahaney

In conclusion, let me leave you with these words from John Angell James:

“My young friends, let your constant aim, and at the same time your earnest prayer, that your may first of all understand your mission, and then fully prepare for it, and hereafter as successfully fulfill it.”
