King Solomon said, “The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands” (Proverbs 14:1 NKJV). How? For one, sensible women do not expose their families to the foes by their utterances, and they do not engage in physical combat with others. “He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction” (Proverbs 17:19).
A prudent woman bridles her tongue, realizing that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). A sensible woman is a wise woman who builds her house by being industrious, providing for the family (Proverbs 31:10-31).
Sensible women seek unity at home, in the church and everywhere (Ephesians 4:3). This is because in unity there is peace, rest of mind, growth and progress. “Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion” (Roman 12:16).
They serve the Lord persistently as Anna did, without allowing troubles and trials to obstruct their devotion, commitment and loyalty to God (Luke 2:36-38). Indeed, sensible women are godly women, seeking the things of the Lord always and first.
Are you a home builder or a destroyer? Be a builder of good things. Be sensible and wise. Rely on God’s in errant Word in whatever you do.
