Today we finished reading Proverbs. What a way to finish. God knew how He wanted this book on wisdom to conclude. God desires to show wisdom in the home, the foundation for all of life, and how true wisdom in the home is found in a mother/wife of true God honoring character. As I was reading through Proverbs 31 today a few thoughts were placed into my heart and mind by the Spirit and I want to share them with you. They are some random thoughts so I will have them in bullet point style.
-Proverbs 31 should never be read through the eyes of a demanding husband scolding his wife.
-Rather than a to-do list for an already over-stressed mom, Proverbs 31 should be read through the eyes of an appreciative husband and family who recognize how much they owe the one who does life’s most important job.
-Mothers do the most important job in the world!
-Proverbs 31 should be a thank-you note to your wife.
-We need to give mothers/wives the reward that they have earned.
-We should give the same tribute to women in the church who were never able to have children because they are also mothers of the faith in the faith family.
-The job description may seem overwhelming, but it should never be underappreciated.
-Husbands, how are we supporting our wives to be appreciated like Proverbs 31?
-1 Timothy 2:15 “But women will be saved through childbearing (Proverbs 31 description)-if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with propriety”.
