A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised

Proverbs 31

by Debi Pick Marquette


A Godly woman knows what's most important in her life

And we should always love God first; then our role as a wife

I try to think of others so it's not about just me 

And this is how the Proverbs 31 woman should be 



But as I study the scriptures, I realize that I lack

I try to manage my own life, from God, I'll take it back, 

But love and wisdom from above will always fill my heart

Each day, a new beginning when my Lord lets me restart



There's nothing more rewarding, than the feeling that you've done

What's righteous and approved of, by the Father and the Son

And I ask Them to lead my way, and shine for me a light

That's why I try to hand the reins to God each time I write

Although my poem is about the Proverbs 31 woman, I chose to elaborate that as much as we strive to be that woman, we fail because we are only human. So the fact that I seemed to get off track and tell about letting God down, but how he lets me start over again shows what a wonderful God we serve, was done intentionally. As we should never stop trying to do His will.
