"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. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
~Proverbs 31: 19 - 21~
Thoughts have been going through my mind since I saw this quote and I think I have an idea what these verses mean to me and my life from today. God through some very good people have suggested that I go into a ministry of some sort. The words "extends her hands to the needy" is another reminder from God. Sunday in Church an announcement was made about a seminar to be held on helping Adults at risk at our Church Annex. I believe that I am suppose to attend and become involved in a ministry with an individual in our congregation. Adults at risk in our community consist of those on drugs, drinking problems, life styles, and those who have or could loose their children. This is a Lay ministry and a good knowledge of the Scriptures are a requirement and a love for those who need help and a knowledge of God and His son Jesus. God in this passage is telling me that I should have no fear for my family and He will keeps up provided for even if I go into a ministry that makes no money, but saves lives. Please pray for me to listen to God and just do what He wants me to do. To decern that this is of God.
