Alright, so from verse 2-9 are words of Solomon's mother regarding how he should be leading his people. Not drinking wine, looking after the poor etc. Any good motherly advice. What a good mom. So, all of those important topics got about one verse each and then comes verses 10-31. They are all about the woman he should be looking for and expecting to have. That's a lot of verses and that also leaves us women working really hard to live up to the kings expectation of a wife but why wouldn't we want to be good enough for a king? I wouldn't want to strive to be any less than that. No my husband is not the ruler of the country but I certainly see him as a king in my life; he adores me the way Solomon speaks of this woman. Toward the end of the passage, it says this about her husband: "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "many woman have done excellently, but you surpass them all."" I may not live 100% to the verses in scripture about being a Godly wife but I certainly strive to and because of this MY husband calls me blessed and lifts me up like a queen.
I am really good at ranting. I think once I get into the memorizing part I will be a little more organized. For now, I like talking all over the place so I hope you readers don't mind.
So the question is: will you settle to not be good enough for a king? If so, there is no need to look at proverbs 31, if you are worth being married to a king (even if you don't think you have one) do these things and you will be called blessed.
