1 Set Apart: Becoming a Virtuous Woman in a Modern World Day 1: Introduction to Proverbs 31 Study Guide The sayings of King Lemuel an inspired utterance his mother taught him. Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers! Do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings. It is not for kings, Lemuel it is not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights. Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:1-9 Today s Goals: 1. Journal your thoughts and notions of the Proverbs 31 woman. 2. As you approach this study, the goal is not to strive for perfection, but growth. List 3 ways you are already showing the characteristics of being a Proverbs 31 woman. 3. Prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit is what gives us the grace to pursue becoming more like the Proverbs 31 woman. Write a prayer asking the Lord to guide you through this process and to help see the areas where you can improve. Set Apart: Becoming a Woman of Virtue in a Modern World - Study Guide 1

Proverbs 31:17 Today s Goals: 1. Like physical strength, Spiritual Strength takes exercise. What are 3 ways you can exercise your spiritual muscles today? Name three women in your life that ooze Jesus. If you can t think of anyone, pray and ask God to put some strong Christian women in your life Like physical training, we sometimes need a trainer. Pray about asking one of them to be a mentor in your life. Pray that God would make the choice clear in both your lives. {While older women teaching younger women is Biblical, to many this is still a new concept and a rather frightening term. Do not be discouraged if for some reason they say no. Sometimes people mentor best without knowing they are actually doing so, so maybe trying inviting them for a cup of a coffee instead.} Day 11: Diligent She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. Proverbs 31:18 Today's Goals 1. Make a list of the things you are good at. It could be teaching, training, sewing, baking or finance. These are gifts, things the Lord has given you the ability to do.

Be specific. _ Day 15: Prepared When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. Proverbs 31:21 1. Prayerfully identify what current storms you and your household might be facing. These might be internal (tension between you and someone else, a rift between children) or external (financial struggles, issues at a job, discouragement in a church body). 2. Ask the Lord to give you wisdom to weather these storms and prepare for more to come. What does the Word have to say about these situations? Set Apart: Becoming a Woman of Virtue in a Modern World - Study Guide 10
11 3. Think of three people that you can help prepare for the storms. This could be your husband, your children, anyone that you can be encouraging and keeping accountable to daily time with the Lord Day 16: Modest She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Proverbs 31:22 1. Take a peek into your bedroom. Is there clutter and mess? Write down three simple things that you can do today to "cover your bed with tapestry". (Ex: make bed, put away laundry, light a candle etc.) Peek into your closet. Find three to five outfits that portray how you wish to show yourself to the world. Make sure they look nice and fit well. Practice wearing your nice clothes even if you will be home all day. Your hubby wants to see you looking nice and your children will exclaim how "pretty mommy looks!" 3. Peek into your mind and make a list of the attitudes that you want to wear each day, and of the attitudes that need to be thrown away. Day 17: Supportive Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. Proverbs 31:23 Today's Goals 1. List 3 Ways you can support your husband this week Set Apart: Becoming a Woman of Virtue in a Modern World - Study Guide 11
12 2. Prayer is one of the best ways you can support your husband. Commit to spending time in prayer for him each day, and ask God to reveal areas you can help support your husband. 3. Lastly, ask your husband how you can help support him. You d be surprised sometimes as the little things that can really help them feel your support. _ Day 18: Industrious She makes linen garments and sells them; and supplies the merchants with sashes. Proverbs 31:24 Today's Goals 1. Think about the ways that you use your creativity to solve problems on a daily basis. Which areas of your life stretch you the most in this (hello parenting!!)? _ 2.

13 _ 3. List three of your interests that have the potential to provide financial or material benefits for your family What would you need to do to explore turning one of these interests into a profitable endeavor? What kind of training would you need? How would you manage your time? Day 19: Confident She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. Proverbs 31:25 1. Make a list of things that are holding you back from being clothed in strength and dignity. What do other see when they look at you? Why? How can you become more Christ-like? 2. What do you worry about? Write out the things you worry about. Then follow Philippians 4:6. Give those things in prayer and petition (asking), with thanksgiving, to God. I know it s hard to give thanks for some things, but the Bible calls us to give thanks in all circumstances. (1 Thessalonians 5:18) If we want to be able to laugh at the days to come, then we will need the peace of God that transcends all understanding which comes from seeking God in prayer, petition, and thanksgiving. Set Apart: Becoming a Woman of Virtue in a Modern World - Study Guide 13
14 3. Memorize the following Scripture to help you when you need to clothe yourself in God s strength: Be strong and courageous.

Who is someone in your life who exemplifies today s verse? Call them up or write them a note and tell them thank you for being an example to you. If there is no one in your life who exemplifies this verse, ask God to help you identify someone. 3. Think of some of the younger women in your life. Is there anyone who is going through a situation that you ve had to navigate before in life? Invite them over for a cup of coffee (or tea) and pray for words of wisdom to speak into their lives. Person: Coffee Date: Day 21: Week Three Review 1. Knowing that we should be inspired instead of intimidated by her, how can you be more: Prepared: Modest: Supportive: Industrious: Confident: Set Apart: Becoming a Woman of Virtue in a Modern World - Study Guide 14
15 Wise: 2. What consistencies have you seen throughout the study? Are there any recurring themes that are speaking to you? 3. Which of the traits this week to you feel like you most excel at and why? Day 22: Productive She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27 Today's Goals: 1. What do you struggle with most when it comes to being productive? Is there something specific that is a distraction or is hindering you from being a good manager of your time? _ 2. Look back at Day 8: Devoted and Day 9: Good Steward. Which of these areas are you improving in? Which ones still need some work? Pick 1 thing to work on specifically for the remainder of this study. Make it a habit and it ll stick!

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever.

Proverbs 31:30 Today's Goals 1. Evaluate your words today. Are you speaking truth in love or using meaningless words to gain the praise of others 2. Do you know what fear of the Lord looks like?
