Women can easily read Proverbs 31 and instead of being encouraged are tempted to come away discouraged. They’re thinking, “I can never be that.” Or single guys might read this passage and think, “I want to find a wife who’s perfect like that.” Married men could read this passage and think, “I wish my wife was perfect like that.” All of these thoughts are obviously unhealthy responses to this picture of womanhood. But this is where I want us to realize we have an ideal, perfect picture of this woman for a reason. The point of Proverbs is to point us to Jesus and the wisdom that can only be found in Him.
