P31 Devotional

By Murk

In the fall of 2013 Murk released her album Murk in Season (featuring the smash hit “P31”). After the viral success of her music video for “P31” it became clear that the Proverbs 31 woman was more than just an idea or a single song – it was a movement.

Murk’s deep passion for God and women inspired her to launch what she calls the P31 movement. Her mission is to influence and empower women of all ages to discover their God given power & purpose in the world. Her desire is to help other women realize their true identity and potential as beloved daughters of God. She teaches that a woman is not a product of her environment, nor the opinions of the men around her, but a product of the relationship that she builds with Jesus Christ. Murk’s message for women is that beauty is not a matter of the outward appearance but of the heart. She teaches that happiness and self-fulfillment begin in the inner woman and if cultivated, will spread into every aspect of her life. Murk says that her desire is to help mentor a group of women will proudly represent and model the precious character of the Proverbs 31 woman. With this movement, she hopes to help build an army of P31s who courageously defy societal standards and boldly live out their own. Murk quotes, “They will know who they are, who they were born to be, and what they were called to do. They will live, love, and conquer life fiercely!”

Day 1

You Are God’s Creation

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.

Psalm 127:13 NLT

Before I am able to teach you the principles of becoming a P31 and living the lifestyle of a virtuous woman, I must first teach you about your identity. Getting an understanding of who you are and where you’ve come from is one of most important things you will ever need to do in your life. When asked who we are, we have a tendency to focus on things like our race and background. We tell people that we are black or white, male or female. We tell them our age, or where we’re from. All of those things are valid, but there is one single thing that matters most, that all of us have in common, and that is the fact that we are God’s creation.

One of the very first things that God teaches us in the Bible is that He made us. Genesis 1:27 says that God created male and female, in His own image. So, not only did God create us, He made us just like Him. Scientists say that we came from animals and somehow evolved into the humans we are today, but we know the truth is that we came from God himself. Humans are the only creatures who are able to think, feel, and speak. Animals don’t have those abilities, which is why evolving from monkeys just doesn’t make sense.

Your body is able to develop, grow, and heal all on its own. A small egg in a woman’s body turns into a fully developed baby in only nine months, grows into a walking toddler, and then becomes a fully developed adult in only a few years. To me, this beautiful process only serves as proof that we were made by an all-powerful, creative God. The essence of human life is so amazing that I’ve never been able to understand evolution.

The Bible says that He made every delicate part of your body and knit you together in your mother’s womb before you were even born. So, God knew who you were and what you would look like before you even appeared on Earth. God took his time creating every part of you. From your internal organs, to your facial features, to your personality, He made it all. Throughout the Bible, God describes us as one of His greatest creations. We are more important to Him than the sun in the sky, grass in the fields, and all of the animals on the Earth, because we are the only creatures that were made in His image. A woman’s body is especially beautiful and fragile. God really got fancy when He created you! Isn’t it exciting to know that the God of the entire universe took His time to carefully create you?! You are one of His most prized creations and He loves you dearly.

P31 Tip: A P31 is God’s most beautiful and precious creation. She is fearfully and wonderfully made.

Day 2

You Are God’s Daughter

And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.

2ndCorinthians 6:18 NLT

After God created you, He gave you the wonderful gift of family. First, He created you in the spiritual world, and then He used your parents to help bring you into the natural world. I was blessed to have a beautiful mother who gave me love, acceptance, guidance, and support, and I am so grateful for her. Although I was blessed to have a great relationship with my mother, I never had my father as a consistent figure in my life. As a child being raised without my father, I was left with an empty space that no other man was able to fill. You may be like me, and grew up or are currently growing up without your father or mother. Maybe you have a father or mother in your life but don’t have a positive and loving relationship with them. Your relationship with your parents may be one that is hurtful, toxic, and leaves you feeling unloved and out of place. If you find yourself in one of those circumstances, you have a void that God wants to fill.

God wants you to give your life to Him so that He can fill all of the empty spaces that you have in your heart. When you give your life to God and accept salvation through Jesus Christ, He automatically becomes your father and you become His daughter. Psalm 68:5 says that God is a father to the fatherless. God wants to come in and take the place of the father that you didn’t have. He sent his son, Jesus, to die for you and take away your sins, so that He could have a close relationship with you and help you through life. You can go to God anytime, and He will always be ready to give you everlasting love, direction, and guidance. He will provide for you and make sure that you always have everything that you are in need of. He will protect you from harm and danger, and keep you in His care. He is the best father you could ever have because He loves you unconditionally, accepts you just as you are, and will never hurt you. As long as you have God as your father, you can get through any and everything. He is even more faithful than a natural father because He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Say this salvation prayer in order to receive Jesus Christ into your heart and become God’s daughter:

Lord, Jesus, I confess that I have sinned against you. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and are alive today. Forgive me for all of my sins and
