)Īll that being said, while the Proverbs 31 woman was never meant to be on a “to-do” list, her characteristics are praiseworthy and we should still want to emulate them. “She is not telling women what they need to do to reach some level of unattainable perfection, instead, it’s a mother instructing her son, a king, how to appreciate his godly wife.She instructs him to be a voice for the voiceless, a fair judge, and a defender of the poor and needy. Lemuel’s mother instructs him to be careful with drinking because it can make him forget his work. Let’s hear it for the Proverbs 31 man! She instructs him to be careful with women and not follow the path of others who had multiple wives but instead loves his wife. Lemuel’s mother starts off by instructing her son how to live HIS life.She has learned to rely on God through them though and even “laugh at the days to come.” It doesn’t show her struggles, sins, or hardships but you can be certain she had them too. We don’t see the bad days or where she needed forgiveness because this is the type of woman she’s become over time after living much of her life. It is a highlight reel of all the praiseworthy attributes a woman can acquire over her lifetime. The Proverbs 31 woman is not a real woman.She is simply known as King Lemuel’s mother but many believe it was actually written by Bathsheba to her son Solomon. The Proverbs 31 chapter is a letter written by a mom to her son.So first, let’s talk about some background information you might not have heard before. Are you sick of hearing about the Proverbs 31 woman yet? How many times can we study the same woman?
