TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | PROVERBS 27-31
The Bible Describes a Capable Wife
Proverbs chapter 31 contains a weighty message to King Lemuel from his mother. Her wise counsel taught him what to look for in a capable wife.
A capable wife is trustworthy
She provides valuable suggestions concerning family decisions while remaining submissive
Her husband trusts her to make wise decisions, not insisting that she obtain his approval for every matter
A capable wife is industrious
She learns to be thrifty and live modestly so that her family can be neatly dressed, presentable, and well-nourished
She works hard and watches over her household day and night
