We made it! It is the final day of reading through the Proverbs together this month. I hope you have enjoyed spending time in the Word and have heard the Holy Spirit through this time. I also hope it helped to build a habit for you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m praying through my thoughts on our next community reading which will begin April 18, the Monday after Easter. I&#8217;m trying to decide if I want to do a super fast read through the Bible in 90 days, or slow it down to 180, to grow habit and contemplation. I&#8217;ll report back when I know.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime&#8230;.<\/p>\n<h1>Today&#8217;s Reading: Proverbs 31<\/h1>\n<p>Using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/what-is-soap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOAP devotional method<\/a>, here&#8217;s what I heard this time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Scripture: Proverbs 31:13<\/h2>\n<p>She seeks wool and flax,<\/p>\n<p>and works with willing hands.<\/p>\n<h2>Observation:<\/h2>\n<p>She gathers the resources she needs and gets to work.<\/p>\n<h2>Application:<\/h2>\n<p>The woman of God\u00a0gets her work done diligently. She sees what is needed, gathers it and gets down to business. As my company is evolving, I am looking to see what the most critical resources and plans of action may be so that I may make the best decisions in moving forward.<\/p>\n<h2>Prayer:<\/h2>\n<p>Lord, please guide me as I gather my resources, grow my plan of attack and execute. You know who and what I need. Guide me in seeking and securing both. Guide me in seeing and following your way working towards success. Later\u00a0in this passage it is mentioned that &#8220;She laughs at the time\u00a0to come.&#8221; This makes me smile, as I feel like I am on such an adventure and can only smile in wondering what is to come.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Lord, for the adventure. Thank you for your guidance.<\/p>\n<p>I am eager to follow your guidance. Please make it clear to me.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Lord.<\/p>\n<p>In your Son&#8217;s name,<\/p>\n<p>Amen.<\/p>\n<h3>Here is what I have heard in the past when reading Proverbs this way and using SOAP:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/speak-for-those-who-cannot-speak-for-themselves-proverbs-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Speak for Those Who Cannot Speak for Themselves (Proverbs 31:8)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15564\" src=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Proverbs-ebook-cover.jpg\" alt=\"Proverbs in 31 Days ebook\" width=\"400\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Proverbs-ebook-cover.jpg 400w, http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Proverbs-ebook-cover-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>FREE Printable Resources:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proverbs in 31 Days ebook<\/a> &#8211; contains instructions, reading plan, and journal pages<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15653\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proverbs in 31 Days: Day\u00a031\u00a0journal page<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>What about you?<\/h1>\n<p>What did you hear today?
