This week I’ve been thinking about something…
What if becoming a Proverbs 31 woman isn’t about adding more to our to-do list?
What if it’s about becoming more faithful with what God has already entrusted to us?
When I first read Proverbs 31, I saw an impossible checklist. The older I’ve become, the more I see a woman who simply loved God enough to let Him shape every area of her life. And I’ve realized I don’t have to be perfect in every area! I believe these are examples to glean from and not a blueprint of exactly what we should be doing today. I believe we should strive to be excellent in the gifts, talents, and abilities God has given us and not to strive for some impossible checklist which includes things we may not be good at or enjoy (ie making clothes).
That’s really what Becoming a Biblical Trophy Wife is about.
Not perfection.
Not performance.
Not pretending we have it all together.
It’s about becoming the women God created us to be, in every area of our lives, using the gifts, talents, and abilities he’s given us.
The world tells us that caring for our appearance is vanity, but Scripture teaches stewardship.
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you… Therefore glorify God in your body.” — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (ESV)
The world says strength is masculine.
God says,
“She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.” — Proverbs 31:17 (ESV)
So yes… I’ll keep lifting weights, walking, and moving my body everyday!
Not because I worship my body, but because I want to steward it well.
The world tells us food is comfort.
God reminds us that food is fuel to be used for his glory,
“Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV)
Every meal is another opportunity to honor Him, be disciplined, and fuel my body well.
Some days I make great choices, some days I don’t.
But I’m learning that consistency matters far more than perfection.
Paul wrote in Romans,
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”Romans 5:1-5 ESV
These verses have become such an encouragement to me.
Because following Jesus isn’t about getting everything right overnight. But gaining consistency and endurance, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
It’s about getting back up.
Opening His Word again.
Going for the walk.
Choosing the healthier meal.
Speaking kindly.
Praying instead of panicking.
Trying again tomorrow.
His mercies truly are “new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22–23)
If you’ve been waiting until you feel motivated, here’s your reminder:
Motivation comes and goes. Discipline is what carries us when feelings don’t.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 (ESV)
So today I’m choosing to continue striving for becoming a biblical trophy wife, not because I’ve arrived, but because Christ is still faithfully working in me.
If you’re on that journey too, I’d love for you to join me.
We’re not chasing perfection. We’re pursuing faithfulness.
