Woman Crush Wednesday: Proverbs 31:28-31

Wow! Today we finish up our WCW series on the Proverbs 31 woman! It has been such a pleasure to write about this and I have appreciated the support from everybody! I am not sure what will come next (you should definitely follow to see) but I seem to recall Titus 2 had some verses about Godly women....

Anyway, back to this week! This week we are covering verses 28-31:

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:28-31

These verses largely focus on the result of being a Proverbs 31 woman. Her children call her blessed and her husband praises her! It says "she shall be praised. Give her the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates"! She receives the praise she has earned! She is reaping the fruit of her labor! (hint hint guys: the Bible says she should be praised. Why not give a Proverbs 31 woman a compliment?)

These verses also sum up the entire passage nicely. "Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who respects the Lord shall be praised." Physical beauty is not forever and will not make anybody happy. A man can marry the world's most beautiful woman, but if she is worldly and she does not act like a Godly woman she will drive him crazy! And favor can be faked. A woman can pretend to favor a person. BUT, a woman who respects, loves, desires, chases God! That is lasting, that will make a man happy!

A Godly woman will be successful. She will have God guiding her and helping her in all aspects of life. She will attain success by His strength. Also, if she truly is a disciple of God, she will treat her man right! She will do good by her household! She will work hard to help her family and the community! She is generous, loving, caring, hard-working, and amazing! I know "amazing' is a pretty broad term but is there any other way to describe the Proverbs 31 woman? Any woman who puts out the effort to be a Proverbs 31 woman should be praised! It is more than a Wednesday crush!

God bless!
