The Woman Who Fears the Lord
A Study of Proverbs 31
Verse 24
"She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes."
Before my study of Proverbs 31, I had never paid attention to the business knowledge this woman had.
Her business skills are mentioned throughout the chapter.
The woman who fears the Lord is business smart.
Am I business smart?
Can I be business smart?
What does it take to be business smart?
Phew! Those are important questions for this wanna be successful business woman.
Let's look at this verse and the other verses and see if we can make an outline of Mrs. Proverb's business skills.
* We don't have servants and so I translated verse 15 to the 21st century.
Sometimes, I wish I had servants...
Wow, Mrs. Proverbs!
These characteristics describe a business woman but most importantly, they describe a woman who fears the Lord.
May I fear the Lord and allow Him to shape me into a successful woman.
Just like our dear friend, Mrs. Proverbs.
