Ecclesiastes 1:2 ” Meaningless! Meaningless! says the Teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” Ecclesiastes is one of the most interesting books of the Bible. Solomon puts life and assets into a perspective which defines the value of living life “to the fullest” and expecting the more the happier. Solomon’s wisdom emphasizes what brings joy and contentedness. We have to read and wait in anticipation expressed in the very last verses. Accumulating purposeless assets is meaningless!

Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and he praises her:” An entire chapter in God’s Book of Wisdom is devoted to the huge gold mine in finding a valuable wife/mother. The value in this chapter for the ingredients of a successful family is beyond measure. Parents/Grandparents or anyone responsible for training/instructing in preparation for marriage should never ignore Proverbs 31. Have a great weekend. Pray for comfort for those families involved in the terrible plane/helicopter crash over the Potomac.

Proverbs 31:27 “She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” It is very admirable when a mother/wife is both ambitious and responsible. A spouse is benefited and children are being taught the same. Teaching happens with no words being expressed–that is the truth throughout life. The best education is often taught without books or words but rather with intentional actions. Every wife/mother should study the contents of Proverbs 31.

Proverbs 31:26 “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” A life recognizing the importance of telling others truth and sound instruction makes for a wife and mother of noble character and a prize for her husband and children. What % of women on this earth who qualify for making an outstanding wife and mother? We will never know. Who you are and who you choose will show your wisdom at that time in your life. Premarriage classes should certainly include Proverbs 31.

Proverbs 31:21 “When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.” An outstanding wife and mother is concerned her family is raised in a fine quality environment. Mediocrity is out of the question, while excellence thrives. It is amazing how God has planned for a family to thrive with each member participating and interacting for the healthy welfare of each other. A healthy family is a significant blessing much more valuable than silver or gold.

Proverbs 31:20 “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” A person can’t treat one group of people with compassion while treating another group of people with a superior attitude. A good wife will be consistent and honorable in all that she does in life. This humble consistency will be recognized and enjoyed by all. Another great characteristic of a faithful, kind and humble wife.
