Trustworthy or Not

Proverbs 31:11 "The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain."

Our roles as women, wives and even mothers can be a daunting task. With every hat and chore to juggle, our lives can become a disarray of tasks and disorganization. Although this might be you I'm describing, rest assured that the virtuous woman described in scripture was noted as trustworthy. Amidst her many tasks we'll later discover, and second to her value, is mentioned her trustworthiness. Am I trustworthy? Does my man safely trust me? Although we may focus on our outward tasks, duties and even our appearance, this verse draws attention to a heart issue. The dictionary gives the following definition of trust:

TRUST: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, confidence; confident expectation of something; hope.

As I look at my own heart, reflect with me and see if you can be safely trusted.

Lord, fill in our gaps and fill us that we may be safely trusted in every possible way.
