31:17 - fitness

She girds herself with strength (spiritual, mental and physical fitness for her God-given task) and makes her arms strong and firm.

Although I see my short comings in every verse, this one seems to hit home the hardest for me as the physical battle with my weight, and the mental battle with food and self-image, over shadows everything in my life. It is true that our physical bodies grow old and die, and that they are simply the vessels that carry who we really are - soul and spirit. But how we feel physically DOES very much affect our actions and quality of life.
