“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands” (Proverbs 14:1).
The month of September we will be dealing with the theme “Our Calling in the Home.” We, as women, experience a variety of calls in the course of a day. What about when God calls? Are you listening for that, or, are you screening His call? Are you taking the attitude, if it’s important, He’ll call back? Or perhaps are you just hoping He’ll leave a message for you on your answering machine? These are just a few questions to ponder as we consider our call from God.
God is calling you to be a builder of something very needful today. He needs you to build a strong home base for your family. Today’s verse says if you do this; consider yourself “wise.” The home is under siege by Satan today. Women, we need to be ready to answer the call to build with every tool God can possibly give us. To do otherwise is foolishly “plucking down” our homes. Whether you are a married woman with children, a single parent, a widowed Mom, or a single woman you have a household. God can equip you to be a great builder if you are willing to answer the call.
