If we look at the
Proverbs 31 woman we can find out so many things. What becomes clear straight
away is that she is very active! God has often blessed us with many talents,
but the Proverbs 31 woman is using them! She is doing business in the areas she
is talented in, she is helping the poor, not by pulling them up to her
standard, but by getting down and walking through their struggles with them.
She is majorly committed to her family and their needs, not because she has to
but because she wants to. Her dress is also an outward expression of her heart,
she was clothed in silk and purple! A lot of people think of modesty as dull
and drab, but the Proverbs 31 woman was modest and clothed in silk and purple,
which was the height of fashion in those days! The main thing that is apparent
is that she is totally submitted to the Lord, and if you are totally submitted
to the Lord your life will look somewhat like hers. She is actively and busily
serving the Lord in ALL the ways she can. This transforms her into a totally
different person. She is doing something she really loves. She will be a
joyful, cheerful, bright person who is bubbling with Christ. Whether you are an
outgoing person naturally or a quiet person, you will both be glowing with the
same radiant smile, a smile that comes from more than just a passing happy
emotion, but a contented glow that her identity is in Christ and Christ alone.
