Proverb of the Day--October 31st

~Proverbs 31~

 

 

 

 

"An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels....Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; her husband also, and he praises her, saying: 'Many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all.' "

 

 

~Proverbs 31:10 & 25-29

 

 

"This poem offers a beautiful description of the excellent wife as defined by a wife and mother. Spiritual and practical wisdom plus moral virtues mark the character of this woman in contrast to the immoral women of verse 3. While the scene here is of a wealthy home and the customs of the ancient Near East, the principles apply to every family. They are set forth as the prayer of every mother for the future wife of her son."
