Thoughts on Today’s Verse

In the verse, ‘She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy,’ I see a beautiful call to compassion. Oh, how often do I open my hand to those around me? Do we truly understand the power of a simple gesture? When was the last time you reached out to someone in need? Compassion isn’t just a feeling; it’s an action… It’s about making that connection, bridging the gap between us. You see, every act of kindness can create ripples of hope. Let’s challenge ourselves to be that person who reaches out.

My Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude for the beauty of compassion that You have woven into the fabric of our lives. Thank You for the women in our lives who, like the virtuous woman in Proverbs, open their hands to the poor and extend their reach to those in need. Lord, grant them strength and wisdom as they embody Your love and kindness in the world. May their hearts be filled with empathy and their hands be ready to serve. Help them to see the faces of the needy, to listen to their stories, and to respond with grace and generosity. Encourage them in moments of weariness, reminding them that their acts of kindness, no matter how small, make a profound difference. May they inspire others to follow in their footsteps, creating a ripple effect of compassion in our communities. As they strive to live out this calling, surround them with Your love and support. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
