Last 2 Sunday mornings we looked at the immoral woman - on Mother`s Day (UK) we look in contrast at the godly woman.
Just because you are a man don`t switch off! You can learn from the principles found in a godly woman - it will help you appreciate your mother/wife
1. HER ASSOCIATIONS i)Her Husband v 11 She inspires confidence in her husband- contrast the immoral woman of Proverbs 7 who was unfaithful ii) Her Household v15 She provides sustenance for her household-sacrifices made
2. HER ACTIVITY i)Manual Dimension- not afraid of hard work ii) Intellectual Aspect- v 16 - uses her head and mind- not "light" iii) Commercial Element- "fruit of her hands" iv) Physical Perspective- v 17- keeps herself in health for the mammoth tasks ahead v) Beneficial Character v 26- "in her tongue is the law of kindness."
3. HER ATTIRE i)Literal Aspect v 22 Contrast again the woman of Proverbs 7 who had the attire of an immoral woman- the godly woman dresses as you would expect such a person to dress ii)Symbolical Aspect- v 25 "Strength and honour are her clothing" Compare 1st Peter 3:3,4 - God looks for the "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit"
4. HER ACCLAIM i) By her LOVED ONES v 28 - her children & husband salute her ii) By her LABOURS iii) By her LIFE "her price is far above rubies."
Have you been rebuked by such a life? You can repent, call upon the Lord to save you,and be like this woman whose life was motivated by a healthy fear of the Lord (v30)
