Rise up and Praise her

Writer's picture: lesliemoorewriteslesliemoorewrites

Proverbs 31:10 states, “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.”



She is rare. Not non-existent, just very hard to find. And she is far more precious than jewels.


Our culture does not praise the Proverbs 31 woman. Our culture praises beauty, showing every inch of skin, flashing your wealth, and boasting of your success.


Everything about this passage of Scripture is countercultural.


But did you know that I read a commentary that explained that this was countercultural then as well?


I was surprised, but also comforted by this. The ancient women of Israel were counter-cultural in their world just as we are today.


No matter what age we live in, following God will always be countercultural.


I want to challenge you, whether you are a woman or a man, to praise the Proverbs 31 woman in your life. She’s not perfect. No one is. Don’t praise her only for her beauty or for her work, but praise her for how she is seeking the Lord. Praise her for how she gives of herself to her family out of love and service to God.


A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised (verse 30).
