“She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness.” (Proverbs 31:26 KJV)
As we should already know, having gone through and ingested hundreds of passages of this book of Proverbs, wisdom is knowledge applied. It is the execution of skills and truths, learned from the holy and written Word of God, in our daily living. It is done through total dependence on grace by faith in Christ Jesus, not by self-effort. This passage affirms the reason there was never a sign of complaints from this woman doing tirelessly such multi-tasks in and out of her home. Observing her with our physical perception, hopping from role to role, seems to indicate no relaxation. How she does it all? By wisdom! She entered into rest in grace by faith in Christ Jesus. Scripture says: “For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that rest.” (Hebrews 4:2-3a ESV)
She rests in the wise words of reassurance her mouth mutters for continued self- edification and at the same time uplift all in her household. Her words set the comforting ambience of her home and work places. Her tongue holds instructions of faith and kindness. It bears words of comfort and blessings, not of tension and conflict. She stands on God’s Words, the rock of kindness and love. No wonder her husband and children are blessed by her.
A wise woman that she is, she abides in these words: “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV)
