Proverbs 31 is a poem about an amazing woman.
She is wise, strong, kind, and hardworking - and her whole family loves her and is proud of her.
Today's Story
The last chapter of Proverbs is a beautiful poem. It paints a picture of a woman who is so wonderful that her family bursts with happiness just thinking about her.
What makes her so special? Let's look.
She is a hard worker. She gets up early and stays busy. She makes warm clothes, she cooks good food, and she even grows a garden. Her hands are strong because she's not afraid of a hard job.
She is kind. When she sees someone who is poor or hungry, she reaches out her hand to help them. And when she opens her mouth to speak, gentle and wise words come out.
She is brave. She doesn't spend her days worrying about tomorrow. She can even laugh about the days to come, because she trusts God.
And here's the best part. Her children look at her and say, “Our mom is the best!” The people who know her say, “Well done. You did a wonderful job.”
The poem says all of this comes from one thing: she loves and respects God. That's what makes a person truly beautiful - and that's the kind of person you can grow up to be.
