Good evening! We are almost done with our summer sign series on the Book of Proverbs. This sign is #11 of 13 signs and is from (like next week's sign will be from) the last chapter of the Book which gives us various attributes of a godly wife. Much of Chapter 31 is about how she clothes her family. The real beauty of her appearance, though, comes not from the materials she wears but from her inner qualities (i.e., the attitudes of the heart): strength, dignity, wisdom, etc. -- given to us in Verses 25-27. These verses and all of the Chapter's 31 verses are excellent texts for a church sign! The final verses of this final chapter are called an acrostic poem -- meaning each verse begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. There are 22 letters in that alphabet and are written in this Chapter in alphabetical order from Verse 10 thru Verse 31 -- like if we were to write a poem in English with the 1st line starting with an "A", the 2nd line with a "B", the 3rd line with a "C", etc.; 22 letters / 22 verses / all in alphabetical order. So much for tonight's Bible study class! HA! God's blessings to everyone! Have a GREAT week! Our Lord is with you always! βοΈ βͺοΈ π» π¨ π
