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!
