Praise for the Proverbs 31 Wife!

Praise for the Proverbs 31 Wife!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for men who praise their Proverbs 31 Wives. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Beginning at Proverbs 31:10, the highest praise is given to one woman who is said in verse Proverbs 31:29 to “surpass them all.”

Yet, today, God has equipped women of faith with incredible ability.

This chapter is often read aloud to honor godly women who go above and beyond.

Proverbs 31:29-31 (ESV) includes the last verses in the book of Proverbs. These provide a capstone to all the other accomplishment and traits that characterize the Proverbs 31 wife.

“Many women have done excellently,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.”

Some men fail to express their gratitude even though they are blessed with a godly wife.

Men. Do not take for granted your spouse.

Read Proverbs 31:10-31 aloud to your wife, and praise the Lord for the gift he has given you.

Spinning Wool and Processing Flax!

Spinning Wool and Processing Flax!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those blessed with skills and abilities that allow them to take care of their families. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Around the world, women are still spinning wool into yarn, and yarn into useful items. In the time of King Solomon, a woman with this ability was well-equipped to take care of her household. Likewise, this woman would often also be capable of processing flax to make linen.

Proverbs 31:19-24 (ESV) describes more of a Proverbs 31 Wife’s abilities.

“She puts her hands to the distaff,
and her hands hold the spindle.
She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.
She makes bed coverings for herself;
her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them;
she delivers sashes to the merchant.”

With such gifts and abilities, it is no wonder King Solomon says in Proverbs 31:10 (ESV),

“An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.”

Women Active in the Marketplace!

Women Active in the Marketplace!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for Proverbs 31 Women who are active in the marketplace.

The Proverbs 31 Wife has admirable qualities.

A few of these qualities are mentioned in Proverbs 31:17-18 (ESV).

“She dresses herself with strength
and makes her arms strong.
She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.”

This wise woman is interested in her merchandise making a profit.

By saying that her lamp does not go out, we see she has planned ahead. Her lamp oil does not run out.

A man with such a wife should be very grateful, indeed.
