“She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens” (Proverbs 31:15).
We are acquainted with “Ruby,” the amazing woman in Proverbs 31. We could glean much as we walk through a day with her. Her life wasn’t easy, but, she did have her priorities straight. Borrow from her easy recipe.
Faith and family first, then add in time to help others, and lastly, add in time for yourself. She was never bored, and she always seemed to have the strength to take on a variety of tasks. She even took care of herself by going to bed early and getting up early. By the time her family was just waking up, she probably already had breakfast on the table.
Yes, times have changed. However, God does not. If we learn to prioritize and delegate when necessary, we would be amazed how much we could get accomplished each day. We should never be embarrassed to borrow some ideas on time management from other family members.
Putting God first, spending time with Him in prayer and Bible study, will enhance your relationship with Him. Even if you have to get up early to make that happen, you will find it will set the tone for your whole day.
