“She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet” Proverbs 31:21 (NKJV)
Have you ever felt like your household would fall apart if you were gone for just a couple of days?
Moms tend to be the glue that holds the fabric of the family together and keeps everything going according to plan.
So, if you’ve ever been on a retreat, a weekend with the girls, had to have surgery and were out of commission for a week or so, you know how chaotic and confusing things can be at home.
It seems like no one knows where things go, how to get things done, when appointments are, which meds to take when, what bills to pay and when, or what to buy at the grocery store.
ALL moms need a backup plan.
Something that condenses the important things you do on a daily basis so those must-do things don’t slip through the cracks.
When you read through Proverbs 31, you find that she was one crazy busy woman… just like you and me. But Proverbs 31:21 reminds us that she wasn’t only busy doing the her daily duties, but she planned for the future and prepared her family for unforeseen days ahead.
Proverbs 14:1 tells us a wise woman builds her house. Now, I’ve never built a house, but my hubby has remodeled one and I can tell you that a lot of planning and preparation go into it and there are certain permits that need to be pulled in order to be sure that it can withstand the test of time and the forces of nature.
If you and I are going to build our homes to stand the test of time and prepare our families for an unforeseeable future, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan in place so you will have less worries the next time you decide to go on a ladies retreat, on a weekend trip with your friends, have to have surgery, or just have a bad cold and don’t feel like peeking your head out from under the covers.
