Woman of Good Understanding

By Sis. Damola Alabi

Prov. 14:1 – “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands” A woman of good understanding is described here as a builder, a productive woman, a woman who teaches her children the way of the Lord.

Timothy’s father was a pagan, but his mother and grandmother thought him everything he knew about the scriptures since he was a child.

The Bible describes the husband of Abigail as a foolish man, but Abigail used her understanding and wisdom to save her life and that of her husband.

Hannah trusted God and understood that when the time comes, she would have her own child. 1st Samuel 1:1-25 tells us about how her husband’s wife would always humiliate her because she was
barren. But Instead of fighting or foolishly packing out of her husband’s house as some
of us today might do, she patiently waited on the Lord until her joy came.

Nobody remembers the names of Peninnah’s children, but we all know about Samuel the great prophet of God.

May the Lord grant us the spirit of understanding so that we can fulfill God’s purposes for our lives and homes, in Jesus Name. Amen.

You will have good success this 2018.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
