We already know that the heroine of Proverbs 31 is a hard worker but Proverbs 31:17 gives us a little more detail about her, her arms are strong for her tasks Proverbs 31:17, NIV Translation, the Proverbs 31 woman is ripped! As followers of Christ, who model ourselves after this woman and, we also, have […]
The Proverbs 31 woman is an early worm…like the kind that gets up at dark thirty to start her business. This is more than a little disheartening to this girl who likes to sleep in! However, in the Pulpit Commentary, I found an interesting little tidbit that shines a deeper light on Proverbs 31 than […]
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. Proverbs 31:13 NIV Today we see that our lady of Proverbs is a worker bee! Throughout history, the lady of the house was actively involved in the gathering and spinning of textiles to be made into clothing. The lady of Proverbs 31 is no different! […]
In today’s world trust is a commodity that is in high demand. The majority of people have a very small list of people that they trust. Yet, one of the first things we learn about the Proverbs 31 woman is that she is someone that her husband can trust! The heart of her husband trusts […]

As a little girl I LOVED hearing about the Proverbs 31 woman! I didn’t understand a thing about her attributes but I knew she was worth more than Rubies. What else did a girl who loved shiny rings need to hear? However, as I grew older I started to read the attributes of the infamous […]
In Proverb 31: 1-9, Bathsheba warns her son of what not to do as king but she also tells him what he needs to do as king! I wonder how many of us, in the hustle and bustle of daily life, omit teaching our children what TO do? Correcting poor behavior, after it happens, is […]
**This post contains sexual content that may not be suitable for all readers! Proverbs 31:2-3 I warned that last weeks session was somewhat boring and, indeed it was! Boring but necessary, it set our base for Lemuel being Solomon and the queen his mother, Bathsheba. But, don’t fret. If last weeks session was boring this […]
I must admit that I often skip the first nine verses of Proverbs 31 when I read it. I guess I’m in a hurry to read about the woman who is worth more than rubies. But, I’ve recently been giving the beginning of this book a good hard look. Much to my surprise, I have […]
