Love Where You Are with Somer Colbert

Too Perfect for Our Comfort: A Reintroduction to the Proverbs 31 Woman


Listen Later

If you’ve been a believer and reader of God’s word for any length of time, people in the Bible can become familiar to you in such a way that you might tend to overlook their story - I know I have. The Bible is clear that it is living and active, God’s Way of speaking to us daily, reminding us of His love for us and of our mission and purpose.

Over the next four episodes I want to dive into scripture and reintroduce you to 4 very familiar women in the Bible. You know them well, you’ve heard their stories over and over. But what if you’ve missed something? What if you’ve just made up our mind about them and missed out on a chance to know them a little bit better?

In today's episode I want to begin with a woman we are all too familiar with if you’ve spent any time in scripture at all. 

She is one that we have a really hard time relating to, often feel threatened by and quickly dismiss.

She’s the standard we’re told to pursue. The one who can do it all. Always together, Always on her game, always one step ahead and her husband, children and the community praise her for it.

Will you meet the Proverbs 31 woman with me all over again?

Favorite Takeaways:

If the enemy can feed the lies of our assumptions about others and ourselves, he can keep us from connecting with others in the body of Christ

Assumptions, simply put, are when we take one look at somebody, decide who they are and choose to discount their story.

You can determine a lot about someone by observing the rhythm of their life.

Let’s be honest for a moment: We make assumptions about the Proverbs 31 woman because she conflicts with our struggles of inadequacy and performance mindset. She’s just too perfect for our comfort.

Titus 2:3-4 “In the same way, older women are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not slaves to excessive drinking. They are to teach what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands and to love their children.”

Our lives are not supposed to look exactly like hers - we don’t need to match her tasks. We are all on our own journey with our own assignments from God.

You’re not so different from this Biblical super woman after all!
