“An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.” -Proverbs 31:10
We live in a world that low base teaches us that the loudest, most aggressive woman wins. Paired with church messages of a Proverbs 31 wife standard of perfectionism, you end up with a world of women feeling weary worn, less than defeated.
I’ve wondered if the “real” Proverbs 31 wife would shake her head, bury her face in prayer for this current generation.
A Proverbs 31 wife is rare, precious-not commonplace. Precious jewels aren’t common, everyday. They are created through experience, time, intentionality. I think we forget that.
We call a Proverbs 31 woman/wife/mother the biblical standard, but forget how rare and precious this woman is. We forget she didn’t just wake up one day as the standard-she lived a life daily culturing her heart and soul, then lived these standards out.
