Project 31 Month 2: Learning To Trust & Be Trustworthy

"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Proverbs 31:11-12

Welcome to the second month of our becoming journey. In the first installment of Project 31, we combatted the lies of the enemy with Biblical truth and reclaimed what it means to be a woman of God by remembering our innate, God-given identity and worth. This month, our focus shifts and we begin to learn what living from our God-given identity actually looks like.

One of our greatest roadblocks in our relationship with God is trust. In times of sorrow, we struggle to trust God's goodness and presence. In times of lack, we struggle to trust God's provision. In times of heartache, we struggle to trust God's love. And when others prove themselves untrustworthy, our trust issues can bleed into every other relationship, including our relationship with God.

Our circumstances seek to shake our trust in the Lord, and when our trust in the Lord is shaken, so is everything else. We struggle to have hope. We struggle to remain faithful. We turn inward and feel the only option is to become self-reliant, independent, and strong. We turn away from our Father, like the Israelites who struggled to trust God to provide for them and protect them. And that action affects how we show up as a wife, friend, mother, employee, and daughter of the Most High God.

Trust in the Lord is the essence of a Proverbs 31 woman.

While Proverbs 31 refers to a wife and is used as inspiration for wives, this scripture is inspiration for godly womanhood regardless of marital status. Additionally, we, as the church, are the wife of Christ. There are lessons we can take from Proverbs 31 as we prepare to be joined together with Christ in Heaven.

In this installment of Project 31, all women are called to rebuild their trust in the Lord and learn how to be a safe place for others to place their trust.

This devotional series is for:

• women of any age

• women desiring to strengthen their trust in the Lord

• women desiring to become the woman God has called them to be

• unmarried yet preparing (wives in the waiting)

• women who are currently married

• divorced women hoping for a second chance

• mature women looking to reconnect with their purpose as women of God
