Proverbs 31:29 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all.” (Proverbs 31:29 KJV)

King Lemuel's mother exclaims her awe of this woman she is spurring her son to seek out. She acknowledged that yes many daughters are virtuous in their unique way, but certainly none possessed such an overarching character. As she pondered earlier in this chapter, indeed she said, “A wife of noble character who can find?” (Proverbs 31:10a NIV).

Well, the truth of the matter is, in the natural world none can be found like her, who excelled all daughters that did virtuously. But, there are of course noble women to find. Looking through the eyes of grace by faith in Christ Jesus, this woman can of course be found in those who rest in grace by faith in Jesus Christ. The person of Ruth exemplified this woman. A pagan Moabite, she took refuge under the wings of the God of Israel. She was the wife of Boaz and the grandmother of King David (Book of Ruth).

She's one of many who excelled them all in God's grace by the power of her declaration of faith. When Naomi urged her to go back home to her pagan family, she chose to cling on with her Mother-in-law. She prevailed to be with Naomi and her God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The same God who send His only begotten Son to restore us by His grace, through faith. It is written: “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.” (Ruth 1:16 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
