Proverbs 31:25a “She is clothed with strength and dignity…” Proverbs 31, the second half, should be studied by every teenager who has thoughts of ever getting married. Parents should set their children down and teach the characteristics of an outstanding wife. And children should learn by example. Their mother, if she has the traits God describes in this chapter is to be cherished by her children and by her husband. She is a blessing to all. Sincerely thank God if you have such a mother, grandmother or wife.

Proverbs 31;10 “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” Which would you rather have–(think about this for a little while) –a never ending balance on your debit card or a loyal, faithful, God-fearing and wise spouse?The one allows you earthly pleasures which we seemingly work hard to gain and the other is a gift which one could never work hard enough to buy. One produces friends so abundantly that life is one party after another and the other is contentedness and peace creating a home of character, honor and love. All of us would/should conclude the spouse is a far more valuable treasure. What is your choice?

Proverbs 8a “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…” The largest group of individuals who cannot speak for themselves are children–little children–very little children–children in the womb. How can they represent themselves? They can’t. You and I have an obligation to represent them–or should we ignore both them and this passage?

Proverbs 30:8b-9 “…give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. Our relationship with our Heavenly Father is the most important, most valuable and the most meaningful possession you and I cherish. We never want our earthly wealth, or our earthly lack of possessions to affect this relationship. Our strength is our Savior, and we all want to be as strong as possible with no interference or distractions. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” Some view God’s Word as being a book which can be interpreted as one pleases and parts can even be eliminated if one so chooses. Those attitudes are totally flawed. All of us who value God’s Word as His exposure of Himself and His instruction for living a life of contentedness, peace, faithfulness, wisdom and understanding have to value every word He has written. We can neither add nor discard any word or thought which seemingly makes our opinions valid. This passage is absolute truth and can be interpreted only one way.
