She Has A Plan

‘She has plan’ could perhaps be the title for the whole of Proverbs 31. Reading about this truly excellent woman can get women all stressed and anxious because we compare and measure her against our own short comings, failings, and inadequacies. But the dreaded Proverbs 31 woman who seems linger over us, the one who has her life all wrapped up in a neat, little package tied up with a big, red bow. However, if we dig a little deeper and see the Proverbs woman, who is worth more than rubies, we discover a woman of character because she chooses to stick to her plan. We see her wisdom is the result of trusting and knowing who God is and then outworking all that into her life in response to His character. Each step of her plan follows God’s instruction. There is no space in her plan for fear or worry, or doubts to gain any traction. She focus’s all her energy on the plan as she considers and plants, inspires, and moves, rises, and makes, equips, and spins, reaches, and extends. She’s always choosing wisely and carefully because she is directed by the plan. And because her plan is always pointing to the One who knows the end from the beginning she is safe.
