Pro 31:1, The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him:
Like Agur, the author of Pro 30, King Lemuel is unknown; he was never mentioned in scripture nor was a king in Israel, but his wise mother taught him well!
Pro 31:2-3, What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows? DO NOT GIVE YOUR STRENGTH TO WOMEN, NOR YOUR WAYS TO THAT WHICH DESTROYS KINGS.
A loving mother describes her son as, her son, born of her own womb, whom she has vowed to protect, love and teach! She warns her son that excessive interest in women would destroy him! Like Solomon, 1Kings 11:1-10
1Ki 11:3, And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
Pro 31:4-5, It is not for kings, O Lemuel, IT IS NOT FOR KINGS TO DRINK WINE, Nor for princes intoxicating drink; LEST THEY DRINK AND FORGET THE LAW, AND PERVERT THE JUSTICE OF ALL THE AFFLICTED.
She warns her son to stay away from any intoxicating drink; for it perverts the way of kings and leaders! We must always be in full control of ourselves!
Eph 5:18, NLT, Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,
Pro 31:10-11, Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.
Thank you, LORD, for I found such a woman who has greatly enriched my life!
Pro 18:22, THE MAN WHO FINDS A WIFE FINDS A TREASURE, AND HE RECEIVES FAVOR FROM THE LORD.
Pro 31:12, 14, She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life…. She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar.
She takes care of her husband, her children and her home! With wisdom she manages money and brings in what is necessary!
Pro 31:25-26, She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
This perfectly describes my wife; for she is strong and wise. She always telling others about the promises of GOD with love and kindness! THANK YOU, LORD, FOR HER!
Pro 31:28, HER CHILDREN STAND AND BLESS HER. HER HUSBAND PRAISES HER:
YES, SHE IS LOVED BY HER CHILDREN AND HUSBAND! WE LOVE YOU!
