One of the most spoken about chapters of the bible, quoted in most Christian Women Conferences, in fact even the men think about it as they imagine their future; their happy ever after.
They say you have to see it before you possess it hence even boys have their own fantasies which neither involve football nor cars. See! almost every Christian lady I have ever encountered wants to be that proverbs 31 women, but which one exactly, I wonder?
Because at times I feel when we read this chapter our expectations are usually narrowed down, we rather rush to verse 10 going down that we don’t even allow scripture to speak for itself. Don’t get me wrong, to want to be the lady described in verse 10 going down is actually a great desire, all am saying is that maybe if we read this chapter with a more open mind, with all the things we were taught about it put aside then just maybe we would see that this lady, ladies dream to be, this wife men fantasize to see Is not the main character of this particular story.
This chapter is about a mother and son, at times boys never stop being boys because they lack someone to be their Proverbs 31 mother. Dear mothers this is for you, because when scripture says “raise up a child in the way of the Lord”, it includes this aspect too and making such to be a taboo does more harm than good. At times the problem is that the first time us boys learn about girls is when other boys are telling us of how they have been boys but trust me, every male needs that special woman to tell him that it is not ok to be with Mary on Monday and on Friday with Ruth, that if he runs around too much he might actually lose his youth because even the strength of youths grow weary
So dear sisters, you who want to be the proverbs 31 lady, make sure you dream big, till you turn out to be the proverbs 31 mother, Dear mothers, it’s never too late to sit down your sons and share with them wisdom like the proverbs 31 mother did, Dear boys listen to your Mothers ,give ear to what they have to say and if they never share anything with you, then go ahead and ask because the proverbs 31 woman you fantasize about is as a result of a wise mother.
