Proverbs 31

Lessons to be learned from P31:

A wise son listens to and follows the counsel of a wise mom.
It is unbecoming of leaders and those in high positions to be subject to substances, people, or other things that will impair their wise judgment. Not only is this problematic for them but also for those who rely on them.

We should speak up for those with no voice, and defend the rights of the poor and needy.
This is what a good wife looks like:

He husband can fully trust her and his life is better because she is with him and for him.
She is creative, entrepreneurial, and industrious. And she is enthusiastic about all she does.

She tends to the matters of her home. She anticipates and prepares for the things to come. She considers how she may nurture the success of her household.
She is hospitable and philanthropic.

She presents herself to the world in a regal manner.
Because of her character, her husband gains respect.

Because of her strength and dignity, she has no worries about the future.
She is a woman of wisdom and makes it her business to invest in the lives of those who can benefit from her wisdom.

She’s not given to idleness. She knows it comes with trouble.
Because of her character, he children respect her. Her husband does also.  And they let her know that.

Her husband thinks she’s the best thing since sliced bread!  He’s seen the behavior and character of other women but he recognizes that she far exceeds them.
She is to be praised because she fears the Lord.
