Back to the consideration of Proverbs 31...She considers that her merchandise is good. She is not vain. She, in imitation of her Lord, knows the difference between what is good and what is defective in her services. She can assess the situation and separate between the kernel and the chaff, which the wind drives away in her services and products. What is a sellable ware and what is a tossable refuse? She has discernment and is very considering of these items. Receiving reproof from others is key in this regard.
I love the scene in I remember Mama that the mama goes to the author and asks her to critique her daughter's writings. She comes with a bartering proposal to the woman and asks her what her daughter can do to get to be a great author. Learning to hear properly from parents and teachers is what guides you into being useful. This is why that commandment has a promise that it may be well with you. It cannot be well with you if you think that all that you do is good. You must be able to see the good from the garbage. Taste and see that only the Lord is all good. Blessed are you if you trust His judgements and listen to the wise guides which He has provided for you, dear children...
