Enablement and Encouragement

Enablement and Encouragement

God has knit into the hearts of every mother the tender attention to help those in need, the hurting, and the discouraged. As the writer of the book of Proverbs finishes he lays out 5 unique characteristics of a woman with Godly character.

Proverbs 31:10-12

A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

Her Work – vs 13, 15, 17, 19, 24
Her Character – vs 20, 26, 27
Her Confidence – vs 16, 21, 25
Her Care – vs 14, 18, 22
Her Family – vs 10-12, 23, 28-27

Conclusion:
The Key to Noble Character = the Fear of the Lord

Challenge: Write out 31 things you can thank your mom for. If not your mom, then the one who raised you as a mom would.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”
