Well in our daily reading we are in Luke 12 and Proverbs 19. I just wanted to share a few key thoughts that are pro founding and chalked full of God's wisdom. (Most of these were strongly touching and convicting to my heart.)
Proverbs 1:7
7. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 2 :10-12
10. When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11. discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
12. to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things,
Proverbs 3:5-10
5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
6. in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
7. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.
9. Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10. so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Proverbs 4;20-22
20. My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
21. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart;
22. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 6;20-23
20. My son, keep your father's command, and do not forsake the law of your mother.
21. Bind them continually upon your heart; tie them around your neck.
22. When you roam, they will lead you; when you sleep, they will keep you; and when you awake, they will speak with you.
23. For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light; reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
Proverbs 7;1-2
1. My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands within you.
2. Keep my commands and live, and my law as the apple of your eye.
Proverbs 8:17
17. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.
Proverbs 9:8-9
8. Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning
Proverbs 10:27-32
27. The fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28. The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
29. The way of the Lord is strength for the upright, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
30. The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not inhabit the earth.
31. The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out.
32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
I hope you find these just as inspiring as I did. I know that as we read so many verses just speak directly to my heart. If when I read it the first time and it strikes me as applicable to my life or to my children's lives then I go ahead and read it twice or sometimes three times.
I am so glad that God's word is alive and breathing life into us as we read it. No other book can compare to it. God's word is so challenging and corrective that it gives us the complete joy of knowing how it is having it's affect on our lives. If we read something that we needed to hear chances are it wasn't by mistake that we read it...
Glad to know there are no coincidences, luck or chance when reading God's word. Every person who reads will find something in it that will ultimately change his/her life. That is how God designed it and that is exactly what Jesus is all about.
Remember this song:
The B I B L E yes that is the book for me, I stand alone on the word of God; the B I B L E, the Bible.
Years ago my dh and I were watching a Christian movie, "Joshua". Maybe you have seen it too. Well in it the man Joshua is like Jesus, he performs miracles and shows several people the truth through his love and light. In it he says this phrase about the Bible, "the bible stands for, Basic Truths Before Leaving Earth." That always makes me smile....
Have a very wonderful day in the Lord.

A Wife of Noble Character, a Dedication to Coleen Sabin.
Our Purpose in Life as women should be exactly as the bible describes in Proverbs 31:10-31
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for her bed;she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over her affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Coleen Sabin was married to Dale for 37 yrs, the mother of 9 children and grandmother to 11. A woman of faith and belief in YaHWeh. She studied the bible and practiced it in her daily life. She encouraged other young women to do the same. An accomplished seamstress with a business of offering other women the joy of modest dressing. Homeschooling her children and encouraging them to live accordingly to the words and commands of God in his Word.
Coleen Linda Feltman (Sabin) was born on April 6th, 1951 and passing into Glory Land on January 17, 2008.
Coleen Sabin authored an article about "What causes Children" explaining in her words the reasons why woman today are not finding or rejoicing in their rolls as mothers and wives.
You will find her article in the following post, " Don't you KNOW what causes CHILDREN"?
One last thought about the example of a Christian Woman:
In 1 Peter 3 :4-6 "Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in god used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear."
I know some women will argue that their is no power in submissiveness. In many ways they find it offensive and shameful if a woman is submissive to a man or her husband. As if it is demeaning or belittling of the woman to take such a lowly position. In fact they could not be closer to the truth. Their is much power and strength in obeying God's word for OUR lives. If a woman taps into the truth of God's word she will find the JOY of being a daughter of the KING and a daughter of Sarah.
I for one, would rather be known as a woman of FAITH and who followed God's word of being submissive to my husband and HEAD. As in 1 Corinthians 1:1-16; (paraphrasing) Believing that the head of man is Christ and the head of a woman is man and the head of Christ is God. Following that order if a woman prays or prophesies w/ her head uncovered she dishonors her head. So for that reason she should have a sign of authority on her head. I am not ashamed to wear such authority or to encourage other woman to do the same. After all, it should be our desire to challenge one another to live a righteous and holy life by faith and obedience in Christ our LORD.
As in 2 John 1:6; "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
After all Jesus said in Mark 8: 38 "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.
With everything spoken and written, it is all in love for the edification of my fellow sisters in Christ. In all loving kindness a daughter of Sarah, Crystal Smith a thankful and submissive wife to my dear husband Phil. Who is 39 yrs old today! Happy Birthday my dear husband and leader of faith for our family. I praise the Lord for such a gift to my life and a joy to be married to a humble servant of Christ.
