The post Proverbs 31:10-31: Ode to an Excellent Wife appeared first on HIGH DESERT CHURCH PCA.
Proverbs 31 is known for its instruction for an Excellent Wife. Although this chapter can be intimidating, today, we'll discuss how God will give wisdom to anyone who desires to follow these wise words in their home. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Verse 1 tells us that the proverbs in this chapter were the words of King Lemuel. According to the podcast, who might he be? Ultimately, do we need to know his identity? 2. Proverbs 31 can be pretty intense. Yet, verse 1 tells us who first taught these principles to King Lemuel. Who was that? Does this help us accept these truths? Ultimately, should that matter to us? 3. In verse 3, why do you think Lemuel's mom warns the king about giving his strength to women? What does this look like? According to verse 3, why is this a problem? 4. What is being warned about in verses 4 to 7? According to these verses, who should not be drinking wine or strong drink? Why? In these verses, what exception is given as a sensible use of alcohol? What might be a modern application of this principle? 5. Verses 8 & 9 speak of the influence that kings have. Who (or whom) should they be using their influence for? What might this look like in our day and age? 6. The podcast mentioned that verses 10 to 31 form an acrostic in the Hebrew language. Why do you think King Lemuel's mother gave him these principles in this acrostic format? How important do you think this acrostic was for him to remember this all those years later? 7. Read over verses 10 to 31. a. What principles do you see regarding how a wise wife relates to her husband? b. What principles relate to how she handles her children? c. What principles relate to how she handles her home? 8. If you're a wife, take a moment and evaluate how your own life conforms (or does not conform) to these principles. Are there any areas where you need to improve? 9. If you're not a wife, read over verses 10 to 31 and write down the principles that are generic enough that the principle relates to everyone. Are there any principles here that are exclusive to wives? 10. As you reflect on the principles of the Wise & Excellent Wife, is this standard “impossible”? As you reflect on how we have any spiritual growth, what spiritual realities must be present within a person to live according to this chapter? How might you grow in these spiritual realities, in order that you may grow in the principles from this chapter? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

For mother's day, we look at the description of an excellent wife from Proverbs 31. Though the Bible's description of an excellent wife may be very countercultural, it is biblical and comes with many wonderful blessings!

KING LEMUEL is unknown outside of the reference in Proverbs 31. It may be an epithet of Solomon meaning “belonging to God,” or Lemuel may have been an Arab king descended from Massa, the seventh son of Ishmael. What we can say for certain is that verses 10–31 of Proverbs 31 is a well-known section of scripture that praises the virtues of an excellent wife. We discuss the value placed on trust between a husband and wife in these verses. In the ideal marital relationship, both spouses trust each other implicitly. The virtues of a woman who embraces her role in the household should be appreciated by the rest of her family: Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” (Proverbs 31:28–29, ESV) We also begin our study of the division of the Davidic kingdom, as prophesied by Ahijah. Solomon's son Rehoboam, rejecting the wise counsel of the old men who'd served his father, angers the northern tribes by promising to govern more harshly than Solomon. As a result, Jeroboam led the northern tribes to rebel. He set up his capital at Shechem and set up golden calves as the “god” (or “gods”—elohim can be singular or plural, but in context is more likely singular) who brought Israel out of Egypt. We explain why we believe the golden calves represent the Canaanite father-god El rather than Yahweh or Baal, as many Bible commentators teach. Question of the week: Are the hooks in the jaws that draw Gog of Magog to make war on Israel in the end times (Ezekiel 38 and 39) Israel's farmland or natural gas fields?

Pastor Jeff Durbin continues our Wisdom From Above series with this sermon on Proverbs 31:10-31.
Text: Prov 12:4 ESV 4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones. - Prov 12:4 ESV AN EXCELLENT WIFE Solomon turns his attention to the ‘excellent' wife. Just as a crown identifies a man is of royalty to others, a good woman does the same by bringing her husband honor and dignity. Simply put, he will make her husband appear like an honored or crowned king. She is beautiful from the inside out. As Peter pointed out, “Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands,”[1 Pet 3:3-5] One example in the Old Testament is Ruth. Boaz commended Ruth, whom he later married, by saying, "All my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman" (Ruth 3:11). She is the embodiment of the virtuous woman in Prov 31. She does her husband good (Prov 31:12); is far more valuable to her husband than jewels (Prov 31:10), and wisdom and kindness flow from her mouth (Prov 31:26). Sadly, there are wives that bring shame to their husbands. Their bad and embarrassing reputations do cause much pain. They gave pain as one experiencing ‘rottenness to the bones'. In closing, it's a very important matter not to be hasty in choosing a spouse. Remember, both spouses can be either honored or shamed by the conduct of their partners. And, the Lord won't give the second best to those who trust wholeheartedly for God's guidance. [Prov 3:5-6] For “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”[Prov 18:22] ------------------------- Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

What if you discovered that marriage books like The Excellent Wife actually follows Steve Hassan's BITE model of cult indoctrination? And what if these marriage books were giving advice that mirrored coercive control?Bare Marriage podcast, episode 246, featuring Bethany Jantzi. Bethany did her thesis on coercive control, and today she shows us how these books use methods like: diminishing/devaluing personhood; undermining autonomy; creating psychological dependency; using a fear-based system of control; suppressing critical thinking; and conditioning compliance. And all of those things factor into abuse rates and coercive control. And we can do better than this!OUR SPONSOR:It's the Bible that lets girls see themselves in the story!

This sermon was preached at Hope Fellowship on May 5, 2024 by Kyle Truman. God has called us to subdue the earth and this looks different for men and women. We are not the same and God has given us different roles. In this sermon, we see an excellent example of a godly wife called to help her husband.

Proverbs 31:10-31 - The Excellent Wife
As we go through this series, "Wise Guys" we want to make sure that you know it's not just the guys... not just the men... who have received wisdom from God. But, God has also given his wisdom to women in order to disperse to the world in unique ways. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks through Proverbs 31 to help explain the context and what is being said to both men and women in these words. The sermon also spends time expressing the beauty of God's wisdom in creating humanity to be male and female.

What makes an excellent wife? God created women differently than men with unique attributes, strengths, and characteristics — its part of His perfect design! The world categorizes women into two extreme categories; you're either a girl boss or a hot mess. But God designed you to be a helper!
