#Proverbs 31: 10-31

[storytour-blog]

There is a special connection between the manna that fell in the desert during the 40 years of wandering and Shabbos. There is a mystical quality within our means that can affect how we taste our food – that quality is love. The manna was an extraordinary gift from the Holy One, blessed be He as it is recorded that He said, “Even before I gave you the mitzvos (10 Commandments) I provided their…

Proverbs 31:10 (NLT) - Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.

[walkswithmyfather]

Matthew 7:15 (NIV). “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.”

Matthew 10:16 (NIV). “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.”

Proverbs 28:1 (NLT). “The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 (CEB). “Be strong! Be fearless! Don’t be afraid and don’t be scared by your enemies, because the LORD your God is the one who marches with you. He won’t let you down, and he won’t abandon you.”

“The enemy likes to hide wolves inside sheep's clothing but that's okay, Jehovah hides lions inside of lambs.” Amen! 🙏🕊🙌

My entry: "This is my conviction about modesty." - 29.8.24. - Aressida.

Ever since I read 1 Corinthians 11:3, this verse has resonated with me throughout the week, wherever I go. It feels like a calling, guiding me to understand that veiling and modesty humble me before God.

I now understand why men should not wear head coverings and women should. We live in an inverted world, breaking out of the matrix while standing against the NWO.

This reminds me of Paul's teachings in the Bible.

Paul does not say that a Corinthian woman's hair is sufficient as a covering, and I see many verses that point to the idea of a physical covering.

We are also told to "pray without ceasing" - to pray all day, every day.

In my dreams, God revealed that by wearing a head covering, the demonic attacks would cease. Funny, I have felt compelled to veil or wear head coverings for almost a year now.

With each passing day, I feel more called to wear a head covering all the time because I truly do pray all day, every day, for family, friends, and even strangers in need of prayer. This is why I know this Spiritual warfare is real.

I was led to explore Christian head covering, and discovered that 'modesty' takes on a new meaning. As a Christian woman, I am now learns to wear modest clothing, embracing dresses, skirts, and blouses, paired with scarves or shawls for head coverings. God has blessed me with the conviction to shift from earthly to modest attire, and I am gradually letting go of jeans, pants and braided hairstyle.

I have asked God to help me fully dedicate myself to Him. I am all in.

I am here to strengthen and encourage others as I deepen my convictions and personal growth. I strive to be a holy woman who trusts in God.

When I come to the house of God, I do not want it to be about me.

I’d love to hear more Christian women in the church share their thoughts on modesty and their testimonies of coming to know the Lord.

It is encouraging to see more people around the world choosing to believe in the Bible over modern traditions.

I have a feeling that, in time, every woman on earth will turn towards modesty. Time will tell. I know many people today mistakenly believe that head coverings are exclusive to Muslims or Pagans, which is not true. I am aware of the misconceptions surrounding head coverings.

I encourage you to read 1 Peter 3:3-5, 1 Timothy 2:9-10, 1 Peter 2:11, and Proverbs 31:30. You will see what I mean.

She is Noble and Blessed

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her value is far above rubies.

She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praises her: — Proverbs 31:10 and 27-28 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version.

After fasting on&off for months now and being forced to monitor my emotions and thoughts instead of sedating with food, I'm 99% sure that emotional trauma is stored in fat cells. And autophagy + fat loss that comes from ketosis gets rid of the stagnant emotional/psychological residue from past bs. Especially when you take 'emotional eating' into consideration and realize it's basically substance abuse. The emotional state you are in when you put food in your mouth definitely has long term effects on your body

Abortion is Murder & Unbiblical

The Bible does not use the word abortion. How could it? The term itself as a procedure wasn't invented yet! However, the Bible does cover: 

Humanity's inherent value and rights as (uniquely among creation) made in the image of God

Murder

Child/infant murder as something abhorrent to God

Life's beginnings, indirectly (although that also has biological support) 

Legal ramifications of killing a child in the womb 

How God sees and interacts with children in the womb 

How we as His followers are meant to treat children 

What He expects us to do for the defenseless and vulnerable (i.e., the most defenseless and vulnerable human imaginable is the one in the womb) 

And how the question of following Him and His Word is what makes or breaks the difference between a Christian and someone who claims the name but is tragically unsaved  Below are some verses and some additional explication (partial credit: @glowsticks-and-jesus)  

Proverbs 31:8 

Luke 1:44 

2nd Kings 17:17 

Jeremiah 19:5 

Genesis 9:6 

Exodus 21:22-25 

Matthew 7:20 - 23 

John 15:14 

1st John 1:5-10, 2:3-6 

Exodus 20:13 

Mark 10:13-15 Leviticus 20:3-5 (https://biblehub.com/hebrew/mizzaro_2233.htm) 

Matthew 18:10, 14

Psalm 22:10

Jacob & Esau, John the Baptist, Samson, etc. 

Judges 16:17  Glowsticks-and-Jesus Collection:

"Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.'"Jeremiah 1:4-5

"The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name."Isaiah 49:1

John the Baptist leaped in Elizabeth’s womb when Mary greeted her cousin (Luke 1:39-45), an example that babies in utero are responsive human beings already aware of the outside world.

The righteous Hebrew midwives at the time of Moses pleased God by saving babies deemed unworthy of life by the authorities of their day (Ex. 1:15-21).

 As an additional note -- these references are included above, but worth a second mention -- it's plain that child sacrifice - child murder - is something that God abhors and explicitly does not command. I'd look here (https://biblehub.com/jeremiah/19-5.htm) and here (https://biblehub.com/2_kings/17-17.htm) and check out the cross-references as well. Likewise, there is direct support for laws against murder and the protection of the unborn (up to capital punishment) in the Bible (Genesis 9:6; Exodus 21:22-25  -- an additional reference here included about the common misunderstanding of the latter verses: https://www.str.org/w/what-exodus-21-22-says-about-abortion).

In summary -- it's possible (although, I believe, it does deprive its proponents of a foundational basis for the value of life) to be both secular and anti-abortion. But it is not possible for a Christian who truly understands their faith, their God, and His Word to be pro-abortion.

I am feeling very hurt today.

For context, I went to high school in well-off, suburban Utah, although I didn't grow up there. My family still lives there. It's a VERY Mormon- and white-dominated location.

Last night, I was on the phone with my mom, just catching up, making plans for the weekend, the typical Phone Home Because Your Mom Misses You.

She told me that there were plans to build a warming shelter for the homeless in the town. I was excited -- I'd just been to a workshop about homelessness, and me and my friends had exchanged some heartfelt stories about our experiences with homeless friends, family, ward members, et cetera. But then she followed it up by telling me that many folks in the town were strongly against it -- mad that there would be a warming shelter in the town, yelling about it on Facebook groups, protesting at city council meetings. None of them wanted a warming shelter in their town. Hundreds of people, upset.

I've never felt more disheartened. Over half of the people in that town are members of the Church. The chances that there were Mormons at that city council meeting, yelling angrily about a warming shelter are astronomically high.

What God are they following?

What Christ did they get baptized to?

What scriptures do they read? Did they not get the chance to read Proverbs 19:17, Matthew 25:35-36, Luke 3:11, James 2:15-16, 1 John 3:17, Deuteronomy 15:11, Psalms 82:3-4, Proverbs 14:31, Isaiah 58:10, Mosiah 4:16-26, Alma 34:28-29, Mosiah 18:28-30, 3 Nephi 12:3, or Jacob 2:13-17?

What commandments are they following? What "love one another" do they ascribe to?

What has the name of Christ become in this day and age?

The devil turning evil into good and good into evil has never been so obvious. What perversion of gospel principles can possibly lead someone to riot against a warming shelter -- not even a homeless shelter? A place for people to stay alive in the blistering cold.

"Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The 'members' that have fought against this have, effectively, spit in the face of the Lord. Where has Christlike compassion gone?
