A Quick Note Before You Read Today’s Post

If Time Warp Wife has helped you grow in God’s Word, would you consider supporting this ministry today? I keep this site ad-free so the focus stays on Scripture and encouragement—not distractions. That also means the work is supported almost entirely by readers.

Behind the scenes there are ongoing costs (Mailchimp, PayPal fees, website expenses, and image licensing), and I’ve also started paying for occasional help so I can keep producing Bible study content consistently.

I only share this occasionally, and I’m grateful you’re here either way.

😊 If you’re able to give, any amount helps—even $2 or $3 makes a difference

As I was going through our study on the virtue of courage this past week, one sentence came back to me again and again: “Her view of the future is shaped by her understanding of God.”

Courage isn’t built on what we think the future will hold. It’s built on Who we believe is holding our future. And a Proverbs 31 woman knows her future is in the hands of God.

She can face uncertainty with steadiness, knowing that He is present and able,

And that’s the same assurance David had when he faced a giant. He knew his greatest weapon wasn’t a slingshot, a sword, or a spear. It was the power of God working through him.

“It is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands,” (1 Samuel 17:47, NIV) he said.

We might not be facing Goliath, but we will face a giant or two—problems that feel bigger than us and loud enough to drown out peace. They may be spiritual, mental, physical, or financial. They might be a person, or they may be a personal struggle.

And, when we know that…
God gives us power.
God goes before us.
God walks beside us.
God directs our steps.

Fear loosens its grip.

But here’s the thing—before a Proverbs 31 woman steps out and starts ‘slaying giants,’ she remembers one thing: the power of prayer. And in that secret place—upon the altar of surrender—she finds her source of strength. Before she steps into ministry… before she steps out of her bedroom and into the kitchen… before she opens her phone and sees the messages waiting… before she walks into a hard conversation… she goes to the cross. Before she pours out, she lets God pour in.

A Note About Journaling
As you move through this study, consider keeping a personal journal nearby. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just a simple notebook where you can jot down your prayers, reflections, and anything the Lord impresses on your heart. This is your space to write freely, revisit lessons, and record your own journey of restoration.
