Thoughts…
She has firmness to bear up under crosses and disappointments (Matthew Henery’s Concise Commentary).
The Proverbs 31 Woman relies on God to get her through each and every day. He gives her strength to stand firm like a stronghold for others to come to in need. She is a blessing to those who need her help. She may need to take a moment to cry but she always gets back up. Her faith in her past gives her hope for her future. She knows where her smile comes from. Her face lights up with God. When she falls to her knees Satan quakes because it is not the end it is just the beginning!
I don’t have to hind behind a smile. My smile is from the Lord. It is backed by his strength. My smile can light the path for others and blind Satan in his tracks!
