Proverbs 31:2 “O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, 3 do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel-not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, 5 lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.” …………10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.”
What this mother wants for her son; she wants him to invest his time and energy in righteous living, not things that will destroy him. She wants her son to find a wife of noble character, one that is his teammate one whom also is pursuing righteousness. Genesis 2:18 “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” I was compelled to read Proverbs 31 today. It reminds me of the woman I want to be, a woman of noble character.
