Before you ask, “Who is the Proverbs 31 Woman and how do I become a woman of noble character like her?”, let’s first talk about who she is not.
This passage, in particular, was written by King Lemuel who recalls the wise advice his mother gave to him about finding a godly wife.
Its original intention was to simply help a son understand how to appreciate a godly woman.
You are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. Nothing you do can ever earn salvation.
She follows the Lord wholeheartedly and that looks different (even strange) to the rest of the world.
Another theme you’ll see throughout Proverbs 31 is that this woman has a strong work ethic.
She’s responsible and cares of her home, family, and business. She has good relationships with her customers and the community.
