She Sets About Her Work Vigorously

 

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.

She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.

In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

Proverbs 31:10-20

 

Helping hands may save us from embarrassment, from losing our lives, from losing our friends, or losing our faith.

 

There are many who are struggling or have fallen on hard times and need our assistance. Who in your life needs a helping hand?

 

God often sends His help by way of human hands.
