The Proverbs 31 Man

 

Happened to see this book, "In Search of the Proverbs 31 Man" before I embarked on writing down my vision today. It's partly done. My aim was to write down my desires in a handmade card like. I'm still not there yet. Any craft work takes more time & mental work in me than anything else. I saw this book many years ago at the Rock Bookshop and found it to be interesting. How nice I thought if I knew when I bought it & to my surprised, I actually did note down the date & time. Interesting cause I seldom do.

 

Bought : 1/05/05(After Women's Meeting)

Finish   : 2/05/05

What a nice date i thought it was=) grace grace.

 

You've read about Proverbs 31 woman..have you thought about the other side, for the man. Maybe hased/faithfulness..I thought the final page summarized by Michelle McKinney Hammond gave a very good description of a 'Proverbs 31 Man'. I guess it's in every girl's heart desire but we probably are not good at writing it down. It may be in every guys heart's desire too to be the man for their woman=) Read on & be blessed!

He will do her good and not evil all the days of his life.

 

Though he waxes strong, he exercises humility.

 

He diligently works to answer and supply the needs of his family and household. His wife has no fear of the times to come, for he prudently considers the future and prepares for it.

 

He is kind to the needy, and his name is synonymous with a good report. his reputation precedes him; therefore, others seek his counsel and follow his example as well as instruction.

 

His mouth is a fountain of life to his household and to all who seek refreshing.

 

He walks in confidence and sound judgement, administering wise instruction to his wife and children.

 

He sets his house in God-ordained order. He redeems his household and covers it's inhabitants with prayer.

 

He considers the words of his wife, celebrates her wisdom, and crowns her as a helpmeet for him.

 

He grants her a double portions her gifts, and boast of her achievements.

 

He is clothed in love and faithfulness.

 

He trusts and rests secure in the help of His Redeemer.

 

Many men appear to be desirable at first glance, but the man who fears the Lord is to be praised, for his witness endures the test of time and scrutiny. Give him the honor he has earned and let the work of his hands prosper and be spread abroad.
