Virtuous Woman as described by Proverbs 31: 10-31

11/29/2009 8:10:09 AM #

I believe that the "virtuous" woman's standard articulated in Proverbs 31 is very much attainable in our modern era. Of course, it will be subject to certain reinterpretation, but it is not surprising that women today multitask in the home and at work. After all, the home front depends largely on them. The husband described in the same chapter can be said to be unilateral in purpose - he goes to work all day and comes home to a "perfect" household, thanks to his multi-dimensional wife.

I think we can definitely still learn and apply a lot from this scripture, even in our society today. We can't follow everything literally because times have changed. Some of the things mentioned are just not practical anymore (e.g. spinning wool, flax..) while others are still as relevant today as they were centuries ago (e.g. helping the needy). In addition, some of our roles as men and women have changed over the years, some things are done differently now, and that's ok. But I believe the main ideas, the lessons from these verses, will remain forever relevant. May God help us all to be virtuous women, women of noble character. Amen.

What great lessons to be learnt from the words of King Lemuel!

I think we can still find women with this disposition in our society. It might not necessarily be spinning wool as Bomi said but many of them could be involved in businesses or enterprises in addition to their regular jobs all to make ends meet and many would sacrifice things to ensure the children are safe and secure in all aspects.

But what still beats me is that the woman seems to be greatly tasked and my question is what would be the role of her husband? Vs 16 is a bit mind blowing 'cos I would think such decision if not taken together should be the responsibility of the husband. Although, our parents have given us the lessons of survival and independence etc but what baffles me is the "how" of being able to submit to that husband who as a result of the wife's labour is known in the gates!

In this information age where knowledge is power and we all as separate individuals earnestly yearn for more of it and by so doing we get exposed to woman rights and man rights documentations; women's and men's "defined" roles; etc. We, consequently, mix the facts and truth together (e.g. seeing both sexes as same).

It would take the grace of God and also His wisdom to be that woman described but definitely not inachievable! God bless.
