April 3 – Proverbs 31:15
Proverbs 31:15 NIV
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food
for her family and portions for her servant girls.
(NASB says “portions” means prescribed tasks.)
I’d like to attitudinize this one, but unfortunately,
this one seems to be literally true — at least the
getting up early part. In my own experience,
getting up before everyone else does gives a jump
start to the day. Here it says to fix breakfast. And
assign tasks. The only “servant girls” I have are
at the ends of my right and left arms! For me
this means to plan the day. Make a list! Yea!

For those of you who don’t know, Mom really did get up early and make a good breakfast every single morning when I was growing up. And despite her great example, I do not live up to this verse’s teaching!
