Did you know, Proverbs 31:10-31 compromise a Hebrew acrostic poem with each verse beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet???
Many times, this scripture has been read and has brought about many mixed feelings. For the men, they read and the expectation of a woman becomes high. For the women, they read and are afraid they can't live to that expectation.
The book of Proverbs begins with the COMMAND TO THE FEAR OF THE LORD (1:7) and ends with the picture of a woman who FULFILS this command. Some people have the mistaken idea that the ideal woman in the Bible is retiring, servile and entirely domestic. NOT SO! This woman is an excellent wife and Mother. She is also a manufacturer, importer, manager, realtor, farmer, fashion designer, upholsterer and mechant. Her strength and dignity do not come from her amazing achievements, however that are a result of her REVERENCE FOR GOD.
The woman described has outstanding abilities. Her family's social position is high. In fact, she may not be one woman at all, she may be a composite portrait of the idea of womanhood. Do not see her as a model to imitate in every detail instead see her as an inspiration to be all you can be. We can't be just like her, but we can learn from her industry, integrity and resourcefulness.
These qualities when coupled with the fear of God, lead to enjoyment, success, honour and worth. A woman who recognises her own God-given self-worth will not have to prove her value to anyone.
Today we recognise and praise all the women and mothers in our lives. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.💓💓💓
