Proverbs 31:23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.” (Proverbs 31:23 KJV)

There is a real and true 'trophy wife' after all, as this passage reveals. But of course, not as the world defines, rather as the grace of God holistically qualifies her with Godly virtues. The passages of this last chapter of Proverbs show us who and what kind of woman she is. She stands out by the character she exudes, a daughter of the Most High God by grace through faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26).

Her values add value to the stature of her husband as he sits in a role of leadership at the gate of the city. That's the venue where public business and legal transactions take place. Her husband is counted among prominent leaders—elders, judges, lawyers, businessmen and men of honor as they discuss the city's issues of the day. There, counsels are heard and decisions are made for governance of the land.

She comes as an avatar of influence transcending far beyond the confines of her home. Her aura reaches and touches the mood in the “gates” – the core of community life: politics, business, justice, civil and social order. She is truly the “helpmate” for man God designed her to be. Because of her virtues, her diligence, her wisdom, and her edifying support, her husband is admired and known. As God’s children by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, she is the woman that women and men should mutually emulate in this present day degenerating world. She is the embodiment of God's creative design, as it is written - “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”” (Genesis 2:18 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
