Proverbs 31:17

 Proverbs 31:17 She dresses herself with strength

and makes her arms strong.

Woman 31 is a woman of strength. Whether she's made time in her busy day to hit the gym, or she keeps fit by going through her daily tasks, she is not a weak, tired woman. She obviously takes the time and effort to keep herself healthy and care for her body. Remember she is a role model, not an actual single human being, but she is a good example of the fact that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Are we doing what's necessary to keep our bodies in good working order? Do we treat our bodies as temples? So very often we as women tend to take care of ourselves last. Our heads are the last to hit the pillows at days end and the first ones up in the morning. If food is short, our plates are the ones that are more sparse. If doctor visits are necessary, the family goes first. And of course if sanity is in short supply, it's generally our wits that are at an end. What can you do to start treating your body as a temple today?

And to bring this around to the Spiritual aspect again, how do we keep ourselves strong in our relationship with GOD? We need to dress ourselves in GOD's strength, His Word daily. What do you require to start your day with strength, peace, and grace? What can you do throughout your day to keep you anchored to GOD's strength? A verse on your mirror, reading a small portion of Scripture throughout your day, a specific structured reading plan? Whatever works best for you, determine today to do it!
