Proverbs 31 -- The Perfect Woman?

This past weekend my sermon in Proverbs focused on what Solomon has to say about  marriage . In talking to husbands and wives about marriage, I found myself spending some time in  Proverbs 31 . I walked into this passage of Scripture with a little bit of trepidation because over the years I have seen how many women find this passage to be overwhelming and intimidating. If you Google “I Hate the  Proverbs 31 Woman,” you will find many posts by women who grew frustrated by” the excellent wife” who had deep, godly character, cared for her husband and children with the utmost diligence, and contributed to the well-being of her household through entrepreneurship. Any time a passage of Scripture becomes a millstone around the neck of Jesus’ followers we have either misunderstood or misapplied it. Jesus said those who follow him would be free indeed, and that his load was easy and his burden light. He does not throw the onerous yoke of the Pharisees on his people, but instead...

Psalm 23: 1-4

Image
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death , I will fear no evil; For you are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. This is psalm of David. David is reaffirming God in his life. God/Jesus is the shepherd that eventually gave His life for the sheep. Jesus went that further step for His people. God allows us a time to rest and be still with Him. The restoring of our energy and our faith is what keeps the flock going. This is a human need but God saw to it that our needs were met. David was always in fear of his life. People also walk in that 'valley of the shadow of death'. It is always there--the unknown. David puts his faith in God that no evil will touch him because God is watching over him. The restoring of my soul. This is what I need ...
