Proverbs 31:15
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her
household,
and a portion to her maidens.
A lot of
women cringe at this verse at first sight.
They hate waking up early. There
can be seasons where this might not be as necessary given your work schedule,
responsibilities or health, but oftentimes it is quite the good thing if you
have a family that starts their day early.
It is a good thing to rise up before the rest of the house, whenever
that is, and make sure that our family is waking up to a smile and good
food. Our husbands and children can wake
up to love and care. They can smell the
bacon or see the cereal set up for them and start their day feeling loved and
taken care of. Ladies, we are not called
to be served but to serve. What a
privilege! Maybe you can set the table
or get some muffin mix mixed up the night before. You can be praying for them before the alarm
wakes them up and you can set the tone of the day. Be honest and consider if you might not be
fulfilling this part of the ministry to which you are called. Wake up!
You might even hear His lovingkindness in the morning before you hear
the babies, husband and children’s voices!
