Reflection

The Proverbs 31 woman buys a field, plants a vineyard and sells what she makes. She works with strength, and she sees that her gain is good. Ambition and godliness aren't opposites. Her work is part of her worship.

A prayer

Lord, give me strength for my work, and let it be good and fruitful.
