The Blueprint – Day 10
PROVERBS 31:23 says: “Her husband is known in the [city’s] gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. [Prov. 12:4.]” AMPC
Her husband is like a modern day elected official who is looked up to because of his wisdom, fairness, and desire to serve others. The only way he is able to hold such a position is if his wife is taking care of the household and helping to provide for the family.
Because she is diligent in all she does she keeps peace in the home which allows her husband to serve in his role in the community to the best of his ability, without distractions, drama, worry, etc. She really does have a tremendous amount of influence over the success of her husband.
Her reputation advances him, supports him, and encourages him. I think about the turmoil, arguing and stress a lot of couples and even friends go through and think if we, as women, become more like this woman – how could we change those relationships for the better?
By becoming a Prov. 31 woman we can influence and change so much around us! It starts with us! That’s exciting and empowering and amazing all at the same time!
