Proverbs 31:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 31:14

Compare all

12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.

15 ^aShe also rises while it is yet night,
And ^bprovides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
From¹ her profits she plants a vineyard.

17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.

18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.

Proverbs 31:10-18

So let us turn to the wife of Christ's preparation manual, to Proverbs 31, and we are going to read all the way from verse 10 through the end of the chapter. But I want us to consider this beyond what we normally would consider the physical ideal wife. I would like us to think about all these words with ourselves in mind regarding what the wife of Christ, who has made herself ready, is to be doing right now.
Consider that night, we will get into this in the next couple of sermons. But she is working in the time of night before the beautiful light of God is always the present.
