Proverbs 31:31
Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. The final verse of this book! It took me almost a year to get through this – that hadn’t been my intention when I first started but it seems fitting I finish the last verse […]
Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty if fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. There are few things which last longer than life itself, but our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ does, along with God and the Holy Spirit. We can show so much charm, we can hide our facade of […]
Proverbs 31:29
Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all In some bible versions it says ‘daughters’ rather than women and talks of ‘excellence’ rather than being ‘noble’. Who is it that has surpassed them all? And what is it that she’s done so excellently? I believe that it is referring in entirety to the […]
Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Blessed is the woman whose children appreciate her. Little kids do but as the children grow older, they often tend to take mum for granted. It’s not until they, themselves, become parents that they begin to appreciate all that mum did […]
Proverbs 31:27
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. I’ve known very few women in my life who are idle. I’m talking about those who are married with a family to care for. Oh, I’ve met the occasional one who doesn’t seem to do anything but sit in […]
Proverbs 31:26
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. Much of what the Proverbs 31 woman speaks about and gives guidance from, is based on past experience and the company she keeps. Our whole lives are made up of a combination of a number of things and these two: experience and our environment, […]
Proverbs 31:25
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. There is still room today for the modern woman and housewife, to have an assurance of things to come. We hear and see so much doom and gloom around us, and yet, as a Woman of God, we should have […]
Proverbs 31:24
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. As I’ve mentioned before the Proverbs 31 woman works at home and helps contribute to the family income. How many women want to do that today? Heaps, and yet, because of financial commitments and social pressures, they find it hard to be […]
Proverbs 31:23
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. What wife doesn’t want to feel proud of her husband and support him in all that he does? And perhaps that is why this verse is here. But don’t forget that age old saying ‘behind every […]
Proverbs 31:21-22
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. I believe these two verses are about planning ahead, being prepared. Most women I know are naturally good planners, foreseeing their family’s needs […]
