Proverbs 26:14
As the door
turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
Sleep is a
blessing. The Lord gives His beloved
sleep. We must be sensitive to when He
is giving us sleep and when we might be loving it too much. Sleeping in should be reserved for illness,
times of refreshment from a long night and catching up from busy times. The godly woman rises before the rest of her
household so they feel taken care of and that she is setting the tone of the
day. It is not a godly woman’s pattern
to sleep beyond the rest of her household.
She gets to bed at an appropriate time and starts her day preparing food
for the family and seeking her God in the morning on their behalf. She can greet her children and husband with
joy and welcome them into the day that the Lord has made. If we keep going back to sleep when we sense
the Lord calling us to arise, we are being slothful. Let us wake up and be the keepers of the home
He has called us to be.
