오늘의 성경말씀 : 잠언 31:10-18
여러 해 전 가족들이 모두 모인 자리에서 어머니가 전에 써 두었던 글을 읽어주셨습니다. 어머니는 어머니의 할머니를 존경했는데, 나는 그분을 뵌 적이 없어도 그분에 대한 이야기는 많이 들어왔습니다. 어머니는 그 수잔 할머니가 “동이 트기도 전”에 일어나 온 집안 식구들을 위해 기도하시던 모습을 기억한다고 썼습니다. 나의 증조할머니가 되는 그분에 대한 또렷한 기억은 어머니의 삶에 큰 영향을 주었을 뿐 아니라 한 번도 뵌 적이 없는 나도 지금까지 잊지 않고 있습니다.
당신은 매일 해야 할 일을 하는 동안 어떻게 힘을 얻습니까? 이른 아침에, 그리고 정한 시간에 기도하는 것이 어떻게 도움을 줍니까?
거룩하신 하나님, 가족들을 신실하게 돌보는 이들을 보며 감사드립니다. 저도 그렇게 할 수 있도록 도와주소서.

A wife of noble character . . . gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family. [ PROVERBS 31:10, 15 ]
During a family reunion many years ago, my mother shared some words she’d written. She honored her grandmother, a woman I’d never met but I’d heard her spoken of often. Mom wrote that she recalled Mama Susan getting up “before dawn” and praying over her household. What a distinct memory that impacted my mother’s life-one I cling to even today although I never met my great-grandmother.
This description reminds me of the woman described in Proverbs 31. She cared for her family in many tangible ways, and she got up “while it (was) still night” (V. 15). She had plenty to do to care for her family, such as providing food, purchasing land, planting a vineyard, making profitable trades, sewing clothes, and finishing many other tasks-all in the name of caring for the ones she loved. And she even extended her resourcefulness to “the poor and . . . the needy” (V. 20).
Helping to care for a household during the time of the writing of Proverbs 31 was no easy feat, as demonstrated from the long list of duties described in this passage. And it wasn’t an easy feat for my great-grandmother, who was born in the 1800s. But prayers whispered early in the morning-as well as throughout the day- kept these women focused and encouraged as God helped them live out their calling to care for their family and others. KATARA PATTON
How do you stay encouraged as you complete your daily tasks? How can praying early and regularly help you?
Holy God, thank You for the women and men who faithfully care for their families. Please help me do the same.
