It’s Day 6 of our Proverbs 31 Woman Bible Study!
Today’s scripture, we are reading, Proverbs 31:15:
She rises while it is yet night
and provides food for her household
and portions for her maidens.
In yesterday’s lesson, we learned the Proverbs 31 Woman went great lengths to nourish, nurture, and tend the needs of her family. She is a woman who always has the best interests of her family in mind. You can get caught up with yesterday’s lesson here!
Today’s video lesson we will look at how being well organized and prepared is not only a blessing to your family, but to those who come alongside us to help us, in our lives. It’s also important to note the Proverbs 31 Woman recognized she needed help and asked for help. That takes humility! It also lessens her load and gives her freedom to flow in other areas of her life and home.

Proverbs 31 Woman Bible Study – Day 6
(Is Organization Your Middle Name?)
The big takeaway from today’s video lesson is the Proverbs 31 Woman is well organized.
And not just for the sake of organization, but so that your household can be well-prepared for their tasks, which serve in the efficiency of a well-ran home.
Which brings me to this, the Proverbs 31 Woman knows all of the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly tasks and assignments in order for her household to run effectively. In this way, she can better organize everyone’s efforts to make her home run smoothly.
How well do you know the tasks and assignments for your household?
Just think. . . you want to be the woman who is organized enough that your “help” can actually help you. This is a blessing!
You NEED Help.
The Proverbs 31 Woman realizes that she needs help. She understands she can’t do it all on her own and it takes everyone doing their part, in order for her household to run smoothly and effectively.
Do you realize you need help?
Help can come in many forms:
- Husband
- Children
- Family
- Friends
- Neighbors
It’s important to know which tasks you need the most help with and how someone is able to help you. Again this goes back to the organization piece.
I know how it is having your kids help you with certain tasks. Sometimes it can seem like a 2nd job or you could’ve gotten the task done much faster with less stress!
However, if we keep in mind we are grooming the next generation for success, we will teach our children both responsibility and independence, by giving them tasks and taking the time to teach him how to execute them well.. Once they are older they’ll be able to run the house by themselves…or at least a good portion of it!
Humility Is At The Root.
It’s important to know when to ask for help and to not be ashamed.
I know this can be hard because it’s exposing a weakness and vulnerability within us. That can feel like open heart surgery, with no anesthesia, out in the middle of Times Square. So, when asking for help, be wise whom you ask. At the same time be open to the help you recieve.
There’s no shame in asking for help.
There is shame in not getting the help, when you need it most because you were too prideful to just ask. . . Can you please help me?
I pray you have a trusted circle of people you can go to and ask for help. It doesn’t have to be a large girl. I find that intimate circles are best – for me, at least.
Are you willing to ask for help when you need it?
Be like the Proverbs 31 Woman, who not only asks for help, but she’s well prepared and organized for her help to be a blessing when they show up!
Be the woman who is organized enough that your 'help' can actually help you. This is a blessing! #p31 Click To TweetWant More?

Another profound topic today from Proverbs 31. I would say that somewhere in the middle spectrum of organization however I am proud woman. I don’t like to ask for help especially when it comes to my household. Like many women, I view asking for help as a weakness. I like to be on the reciprocated side and offer help to others. Thank God for revelation and people in my life I can ask for help and who is willing to help. I am asking God to help in changing my perception about asking for help and to release all feelings of embarrassment and shame that accompanies it. I am a work in progress and grateful to be part of this online bible study.
If I may be a bit transparent here, I NEVER ask for help. I guess it’s because I have always done things myself being raised an only child by my grandmother. I also have no friends, hard to believe but true. I’m a loner. I guess I should open myself up and trust more. Not be afraid to ask for help when needed.
I don’t always ask for help from friends, but have asked my hubby & sons, they are who I ask if needed. I grew up in a huge family! My mother would put up a chore chart, so we all did our part to help. When my sons were younger, they also had chores & helped. Being organized as a mother & wife came natural. But, when my boys grew up, it has been alot different. I need to be more organized again. I am somewhat organized, but can do more. I know I need God to give me the strength & motivation I need. I am inspired by P31 woman. Thos was a good study! Thank you!
I guess for me it’s a little pride in asking for help. When I try to do it all myself, that’s when the frustration comes in. I need to reach out for help and understand it’s ok to ask for help and to know nobody is going to look at me any less. Great lesson.
