My absolute favorite verse from this chapter

She openeth her mouth with wisdom(khok-maw'
From H2449; wisdom (in a good sense): - skillful, wisdom, wisely, wit.)
;and in her tongue is the law of kindness.(kheh'-sed
From H2616; kindness; by implication (towards God) piety; rarely reproof, or (subjectively) beauty: - favour, good deed (-liness, -ness), kindly, (loving-) kindness, merciful (kindness), mercy, pity, reproach.
)

this is one of the verses i truly can strive for before i am married, to be a woman who is kindness and wisdom of it's self is my goal. before i even started this bible study this is the verse that truly grabbed my attention.


So my challenge to us all is
use the wisdom of the WORD think you decisions through
And be kind, in your reprimanding and punishment, be kind be not rude, but loving in all you say.


something else i would like to add today.
1Peter chapter 3 v1-6
Likewise ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel;
but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible , even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God a great price.
for after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves being in subjection unto their own husbands:
even as sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as longas ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

Sunny had mentioned it earlier about the modest adornment being of the heart aswell as of the outside self.

thank you all

She maketh fine linen and selleth it;
and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honor are her clothing;
and she shall rejoice in time to come.

I think sunny pointed it out before, we should regard all of our labors as something to make worthy of the highest price, so in everything you do strive to do it the best.


Strength and Honor are her clothing; and she shall Rejoice in time to come.

i think that is rather straight forward, it gives me great hope, clothe yourself in strength and Honor.

next challenge

sorry i missed this wednesday.

one for you married ladies, and one we unmarried ones can begin to work on.

"Her husband is known in the gates,
when he sitteth among the elders of the land."

me thinks it's rather clear, not only is he known by his own merit but by his wife's.
in Isreali tradition the men of the city would meet at the gates and have court, any problems they could not solve they brought before the king.

not much of a challenge her though tell me what you think, any challenges you see?
