Title: Virtuous Women, Hard to come by.

-
Strength and honour are her clothing; And she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness. Proverbs 31:25‭-‬26 KJV
Devotion: The proverbs of Lemuel describe a virtuous woman with fine incontrovertible statements. (Proverbs 31: 10-31). I practically have nothing to add to the words. 
 But I want to ask  - are there still such women? This question comes to mind because of the many women I come across daily among co-workers, in the church and elsewhere
I have not noticed traces of what Lemuel described in most. A Dorcas (Acts 9:36) is hard to come by while Vashti(Esther 1:12) seems everywhere.
  Why are such person hard to meet? I can guess the reasons are that virtuous women are truly scarce these days,  you don't see them because they are busy taking care of their home. The younger generation (social media generation) hardly read bible and care less about what the says about virtuous women. 
  The only solution to this is found also in the bible - return to God(Hosea 14:1), seek him actively, seek his kingdom first and everything will be added to you (Matt 6:33) without stress including love and kindness. Both attributes of a virtuous woman.
 Dearly beloved, did you meet a virtuous woman recently, share your experience with us. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
