HAPPY FACE!
Everyone loves to be around the “life of the party” or the one with a good hearty laugh.
I remember seeing an interview with the famous actor “Billy Crystal”. The interviewer asked him about his family and his childhood. He has several brothers and when Crystal was asked what his biological brothers thought of his talent as a comedian he said, “They are far more funny than I am.” At that point the interviewer told him that it must be a riot at Christmas when they are all together. Crystal laughed and said it was where he gets his material and his inspiration from.
Once again lets be a “profile peeker” and dissect the Proverbs 31 woman to see what she is made of.
Prov.31:25 “Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.”
The first word that is used here is “strength”, which in Hebrew means a force, security, majesty, praise, boldness, might and power.
She was strong mentally, physically and emotionally.
Her husband knew that she was up to the task of being a GOD wife and to be the mother of his children.
Are you strong in those areas, or do you show your frustration to your husband and his children.
Do you START complaining, criticizing, yelling, crying and retaliating?
Strength is a clothing that gives you an opportunity to show diligent labor and strenuous efforts to be the best mother and wife.
In our society today, we are finding that our YOUNG ADULTS do not want to get married. When asked why, their response is that they don’t want a marriage like their parents had.
Gods precious Holy Spirit is there to help you with those emotions.
The Holy Spirit is a gentlemen, and you have to LISTEN for his tugging in your heart to not express something that you will be embarrassed about later.
Thank God that He loves us so much, He doesn’t want us to destroy our marriage or our children.
The next word “honor” in Hebrew means magnificence that is an ornament or splendor. It is beauty, excellency, glorious, and goodly.
This virtuous woman does not allow folly or sin to ruin her GODLY reputation.
Do you have a holy life in conduct, tongue and heart?
The last part of this verse is excellent: “…she shall rejoice in time to come.”
The word “rejoice” in Hebrew means to laugh, play, and make merry.
In other bible versions, they interpret the word “rejoice” as LAUGH.
This virtuous woman must have been very easy to be around because she was playful.
Life is not all about doing, but BEING. That is, being joyful!
Are you sometimes a “stick in the mud”?
Are you many times not fun to be around?
Maybe you keep a clean house, love your husband, educate your children, but you are just a big KILLJOY!
You don’t know how to have fun!
This virtuous woman has taken care of others so she has a CLEAN conscience and the praises from those she has served.
Your future happiness depends on diligence and virtue today.
Don’t listen to the lies of the devil.
Put on a big “happy face” and have fun today!
Someone with a HAPPY FACE electrifies a whole room.
Your spiritual prescription for today is, put on a smile and get in there and have fun with your hubby and kids.
Fight that good fight with a smile!
